INTRODUCTION. 



iivTi2.ox>xjCTrioN 



In presenting the initial number of the " Gazetteer and Directory 
of Cayuga County " to the public, the publisher desires to return 
his sincere thanks to all who have so kindly assisted in obtaining 
the valuable information which it contains, and w^ithout whose aid 
it would have been impossible to have collected, in the brief space 
of time in which it is essential that all such works should be com- 
pleted. Especially are our thanks due to the several editors of 
the Auburn Daily Advertiser and Union., Port Byron Times, Weeds- 
2}ort Sentinel., Union Springs Advertiser., and Cayuga County 
Courier, for the uniform kindness which has been evinced in calling 
public attention to the author's efforts ; and to them and many other 
gentlemen of Cayuga County, for essential aid in furnishing material 
for the work. We have also drawn largely from "French's Ga- 
zetteer of the State of New York." 

When it is known that time, equal to nearly three years' labor, if 
done by one man, has been devoted to the canvass, and the great 
difficulty many times experienced by the agents in collecting the 
neces-s -y information, it is believed our patrons will willingly ex- 
cuse any seemingly short-comings in the completeness of the 
work. 

The advertisers represent many of the leading business men 
and firms of the County, and we most cheerfully commend them 



INTRODUCTION. 



all to the patronage of those under whose observation these pages 
may come. 

So complete a canvass of this County for a Business Directory, 
and the additions of farmers' names, together with the number of 
acres owned or leased by each, and their post office addresses, has 
never been attempted by any other publisher. 

That errors may have occurred in so great a number of names 
and dates as are here given, is probable, and that names have been 
omitted that should have been inserted is quite certain. We can 
only say that we have exercised more than ordinary diligence and 
care in this difficult and complicated feature of book-making. To 
such as feel aggrieved inconsequence of error or omission, we beg 
pardon, and ask the indulgence of the reader in marking such as 
had been observed in the subsequent reading of the proofs, and 
which are noted in the Errata, following the Introduction. 

The Map of the County was engraved with great care by Messrs. 
" Weed, Parsons & Co.," of Albany, and, it is believed, will prove 
a valuable acquisition to the work. 

With thanks to friends generally, we leave our Avork to secure 
tlie favor which earnest endeavor ever wins from a discriminating 
business public.

ADDITIONS AND COKRECTIONS. 



County.— On page 25, first paragraph. The Southern Central Rail Road is located 
to run south from Auburn, along the west bank of Owaeco Lake, through Fleming, 
Scipio and Venice, to the head of the Lake ; thence, following the valley of the Owasco 
Inlet, through Moravia and Locke, across the north-east corner of Tompkins Courty, 
and south-west corner of Cortland County, through Tioga, terminating at Owego. 
Running north from Auburn to Sodus Bay, the road will folTow the old route. 

On page 26, second paragraph, The North Cayuga Times has been changed to The 
Port Byron Tiines, since our canvass. 

On same page : The Cayuga County Courier was first published by A. O. Hicks, in the 
month of October, 1863, who continued editor and proprietor until the time of his death, 
about one year after the oflice was established. It then came under the supervision of 
Mr. A. J. Hicks, brother of the former proprietor, who, about one year after taking 
possession, associated with him a young; man by the name of W. W. Nichols, who, a 
few months afterwards, purchased Mr. Hicks' interest, and continued editor and pro- 
prietor until March, 1867, when he sold out to Messrs. A. J. Hicks and A. H. Living- 
ston, who published the paper under the firm name of Hicks & Livingston, until De- 
cember, 1867, when Mr. Hicks again retired from the firm, and the paper has since been 
conducted by Mr. A. H. Livingston. 

The military history and statistics of Cayuga County have been so imperfectly recorded 
and preserved that it would be only with great difficulty that anything like accuracy or 
completeness could be arrived at in the naration. The incidents of the late war are yet 
fresh in the minds of the people. Cayuga, like her sister Counties, bore her full share 
in the great sacrifice which that contest involved. Men and means were given in un- 
stinted measure at each repeated call, and many were they whose lives sealed their de- 
votion to their country and her sacred cause. While memorial shafts rise above the 
ashes of those, the patriot dead, they shall have a more fitting and eternal remembrance 
in the grateful hearts of their countrymen. And may He who rules among the nations 
of the earth grant that the peace whicii they died to conquer may be eyer unbroken, 
shedding it« j oyful fruits to the latest generation and the remotest age of time.

ISell Sc Van Dusen, Liverymen, at 
No. 24 Garden street, Auburn, have a large 
number of very fine horses, well trained 
for the saddle or carriage. Their stock of 
carriages, sleighs, robes, &c., is second to 
none in the city. Traveling men, or parties 
wishing " Turnouts " for business or pleas- 
ure, will find them always in readiness to 
serve them at reasonable rates. See their 
card, page 298. 

H. Ashton Yates, at No. 80 Gene- 
see street. Auburn, is agent for the celebrat- 
ed Grover & Baker and Wilcox & Gibbs 
Sewing Machines. It will be remembered 
tliatat the late World's Fair at Paris, the 
Grover & Baker Machine received the 
" Cross of the Legion of Honor," the high- 
est prize awarded. The Wilcox & Gibbs' 
Machine is as nearly noiseless as it is pos- 
sible for a machine to be, and we believe 
they are more rapid in their work than any 
other machine. Both of them are general 
favorites, and we understand Mr. Yates has 
already introduced great numbers of them 
in Cayuga County. We advise all who con- 
template the purchase of a Machine, to call 
at his office, when he will be happy to ex- 
hibit their working qualities. See card, 
page '281. 

A. McCrea, Baker and Confectioner, 
No. 10 State street, Auburn, publishes a 
card on page 268. His trade is quite ex- 
tensive in the country, as well as in the 
city. His goods are first-class and are much 
sought after. 



J. F. Cram & Co., of the Au- 
burn Carriage ManuiVictory, Nos. 

22 and 24 Dill St., have had an experience 
of over TWENTY TEARS at the business. 

Farmers as well as business men through- 
out the county will bear in mind that this 
firm employ experienced workmen in every 
department, and use only the best quali'y 
of timber and iron in the manufacture of 
their work. They receive the coach-mak- 
ers magazines and eastern styles monthly; 
and as they make light carriages and 
sleighs a speciality, parties contemplating 
the purchase of either, will undoubtedly 
find it to their interest to visit this well 
known establishment. See card, page 263. 

David Edwards, of the Montville 
Woolen Mills, at Moravia, manufacture 
cassimeres, plain cloths and flannels, and 
does custom carding, cloth dressing, dye- 
ing, &c., in the best manner. Customers 
will find this a good place at which to 
market their wool, for cash or exchange 
lor cloth. It will be remembered that Mr. 
Edwards discards the use of waste or shod- 
dy in the manufacture of his goods, only 
the best quality of wool being used. See 
card, page 268. 

Choate & Brother, Dealers in 
Foreign and Domestic Hardware, Iron, 
Nails, &c., are also extensive manufactur- 
ers of Tin, Copper and Sheet Iron Ware, 
at No. 92 Genesee street, Auburn. They 
are the exclusive agents in Auburn for sev- 
eral of the best Cooking and Parlor Stoves 
made in this country. We think the people 
of Cayuga will consult their interests by 
calling at their store, when anything in 
their line is wanted. See advertisement,

on page 264. This House was established 
in 1849, since which time its success has 
been uninterrupted, each year increasing its 
amount of business. Their annual sales 
amount to the enormous sum of near 
$1,500,000, their trade extending from the 
Eastern portions of the State to the "Far 
West." Occupying, as they do, fully 25,000 
feet of flooring in actual business depart- 
ments, every portion of which is crowded 
with immense piles of goods from foreign 
countries, as well as of domestic manufac- 
ture, renders the facilities of this house for 
Jobbing equal to any in the country. The 
firm are also proprietors of the " Genesee 
Falls Woolen Mills," where they manufac- 
ture 100,000 yards of goods annually.

of Flagging, to their card on page 256. 

Hussey&Co., Manufacturers of their 
celebrated Mowers and Reapers, at their 
Works on Mechanic street, Auburn, pub- 
lish an advertisement on page 258. Dur- 
ing the many years since their valuable 
machines were first brought before the pub- 
lic, they have increased in favor, as each 
year some new improvement was added. — 
The manufacturers now claim several 
points superior to other machines ; for a 
more detailed account of which see their 
card. 

H. OT. Drake, Baker, Confectioner,

establishment in Auburn. Call and see 
them when you go to Auburn. They ad-

Scott's Patent Reaper Knife 
Sharpener is destined to add a large 
percentage to the value of reapers and 
mowers. The device is both simple and 
efl'ective; an adjustable grindstone is turned 
to the edge of the knife at any required 
angle, while the cutter box, which is secure- 
ly affixed to a frame, can be placed on the 
stone in such position as to be accurately 
ground to any desired bevel. We know of 
no more usefiil invention, and those well 
qualified to judge of its merits, pronounce 
it the very thing most needed by all good 
farmers. This valuable implement is manu- 
factured by Messrs. Richardson & Co., and 
can be examined by all interested .in the 
subject at their wareroom, No. 77 State 
street. 

Auburn has long been noted for its ex- 
tensive manufacture of Mowing and Reap- 
ing Machines, and now has the credit of 
presenting to the public this great auxiliary

tisement, page 254.

ail entire new stock of goods, presents an 
attraction rarely to be niet with in Auburn. 

It would be useless for us to attempt to

reader to peruse Mr. Smith's advertisement, 
in which they will discover that he keeps 
everything to be had in his line of trade, 
and that he will endeavor to give entire 
satisiaction in quality and price. Success

ISrown's Commercial College, 
r.iuler the management of Prof. Delwiu F. 
Drown, the author of the celebrated Pen 
1 icture of the Lord's Prayer (for which he 
received the sum of $4,000,) has gained an 
enviable reputation for the high standard 
of its educational advantages. It will be 
ri'inembered that Mr. Brown received the 
lirst prize and diploma at the World's 
Fair in New York, for the best specimens 
of Penmanship and Pen Drawing on exhi- 
bition. Besides being a finished penman 
and an accurate accountant. Prof. Brown 
i^i a practical artist, which, together with 
his native genius and talents, enables him 
to surpass ordinary Professors, in this im- 
jiortant branch of education. The College 
rooms are convenient, and are supplied 
with all the requirements for gaining a 
thorough, practical and theoretical know- 
!• Ige of business. Able assistants are per- 
manently engaged to aid the Professor in 
his duties. VVe know of no school in the 
country where we would sooner recom- 
mend young men or ladies who desire to 
acquire a thorough mathematical or busi- 
ness education, and would recommend all 
interested to write to Prof. Brown for a 
circular. See card, page 298. 

li. C. Mann & Co., of the City In- 
surance Office, No. 72 Genesee street. Au- 
burn, publish a card on page 261. This 
agency was established in 1850, and now 
represents several of the strongest Life, 
Fire and Accident Insurance Companies in 
the country. Probably no agency has 
issued more policies in Cayuga County. 
The secret of their success lies in their 
promptness to pay losses. We have no 
hesitation in recommending all who wish 
to insure, to secure a policy through this 
agency. 



"Woodruff, Allen & Co., at Au- 
burn, manufacturers of the celebrated Kir- 
by Steel Plow, Cultivators, Cultivator 
Teeth, Shovel Plows, Shovel Plow Blades, 
and other agricultural implements, are 
turning out excellent work. Their ma- 
chines are all of the most improved pat- 
terns, and are most substantially made. — 
The firm is composed of thorough going 
business men, who understand it to be for 
their interest to supply the farmers of Cay- 
uga and surrounding counties with fiist- 
class machines at liberal prices. 

Their business office is on Mechanic St.,

Brinkerlioff's Corn Slieller, 
Separator and Cleaner.— This justly 
celebrated implement is the invention of 
Jacob Brinkerhoft', of Cayuga County. The 
patent has been purchased by B. B. Snow 
& Co., of Auburn, who are manufacturing 
them extensively. We have seen them 
operate, and can conceive of no improve- 
ment that could be made in their construc- 
tion. Believing the testimony of practical 
men who have seen it th jroughly tested, to 
be of far more weight with farmers than 
our own limited experience, we copy the 
following : 

At the National trial of Agricultural Im- 
plements in Auburn, N. Y., in July lytUi, 
under the auspices of the New York State 
Agricultural Society, the Judges made the 
following report : 

Among the machines on exhibition was 
a Hand Corn Sheller, Separator and Clean- 
er, exhibited by J. Brinkerhoff, Auburn, 
N. Y. We have carefully examined and 
thoroughly tested this machine, and have 
no hesitation in pronouncing it the best 
Corn 8]ieller we ever saiv. It readily ad;', its 
itself to ears of any size or shape, shel's 
clean, and with great rapidity and ea--, 
and at the same operation separates the 
corn from the cob, and the chafl" from thi 
corn, and delivers the corn ready for mar- 
ket; and it requires but the labor of one 
person to operate it. The whole affair is 
simple in construction and durable.

periodic diseases, rheumatism, paralysis, 
etc. The "Ague Cure," has produced won- 
derful cures. The '• Syrup," for the blood, 
liver, skin, digestive and uterine organs, 
has cured many cases of scrofula, cancer, 
tumors, goiter, salt rheum, scaldhead, and 
many other diseases too numerous to men-

form the reader of the many advantages the 
Wringer possesses over others. They also 
advertise the "Challenge Washing Ma-

gained a celebrity and sale of great magni- 
tude. We would advise the citizens of 
Cayuga County to purchase their wringers 
of tliis firm. They are manufactured it

Congress, in 1867. We refer the reader to 
ti)plr advertisement for details, aud would 
advise a visit to their vvarerooms when at 
Auburn. 

Motliers ! Read Tliis.-- -So says Dr. 
G. T. Taft & Co., of Seneca Falls. In their 
advertisement on page 20, they desire to 
iiiform you of the wonderful qualities of 
their "Oriental Syrup," for children. We 
have heard of many cases where this valua- 
ble medicine has given great relief. They 
are also proprietors of '■ Rosenberger's 
Balm of Gilead Ointment," for old sores, 
ulcers, rheumatism, burns, chilblains, piles, 
&c., aud for galls, or wounds on horses, it 
is unsurpassed. Either of these medicines 
may be obtained at any drug store. 



Since ISS*^, this house has been a leader of 
fashion for Central New York. Their store 
is ISO feet deep, aud is at all times filled to 
overriowiug with heavy and fine cloths and 
clothing, suited to all classes of customers. 
Their sales, amounting to about a quarter 
of a million of dollars annually, is the best 
evidence of the popularity of this well 
known house among the masses of Cayuga 
County. Invariably stocked with only good 
goods, the people have learned from expe- 
rience that a suit of clothes Irom the " Old 
Prison Clothing Store," usually outlasts 
the fashions. The firm give several reasons 
on page 244, why customers should purchase 
at their store. 

G. W. Tripp, Dentist, 114 Genesee 
street, (Colonnade Block,) Auburn, prints 
a card on page 246. He is widely known 
as having an extensive practice. His wor i 
being uniformly well done, has gained for 
him "hosts of friends all over the surround- 
ing country. 

The Seneca Black Cap, and 
Boolittle Improved Raspberry- 
Grown by Doolittle and Wight, at Water- 
loo and Oaks' Corners, have, during a few 
years past, grown m great favor with gar- 
deners and growers in small fruits. They 
are hardy, fruitful, and of delicate flavor. 
The Seu'eca Black Cap is from one or two 
weeks later than the Doolittle in ripening, 
so that parties who are supplied with both 
may be insured with a bountiful supply of 
fruit for a much longer time than with any 
one variety alone. For further particul.rs

Tlie Ho-ivard House, at Port By-

Are your chilaren restless, irritable, wakeful, feverish ? Are they cutting teeth? Are 
the guma red and painful ? Have they diarrhoea ? Have they fits or spasms ? If so, 

USE THE ORIENTAL SYRUP. 

It is the only Syrup or Cordial, or CHILD MEDICINE in market free from Opium, Mor- 
phine, or Paragoric. These you cau't give: or, at least, you ought not to. They de- 
stroy the functions of the BRAIN ; the child grows pale ; its eyes grow wild ; its tiesh 
becomes soft; it loses its mind ; it becomes an Idiot. Mothers, these are facts ! To be 
couvmced, try it. The Oriental Syrup contains NONE of those poisons. It is per- 
fectly harmless. It is soothing— quieting. The child sleeps sweetly, and awakes refresh- 
ed aud lively. The teeth penetrate the gums without pain. It is good for aged and ner- 
vous people. TRY IT.

THE HALI\1 OE OILE AH ! 

SIR ASHLEY COOPER, in one of his lectures to his class, says :— I have used the 
Balm of Gllead in my practice, in one form or other, for more than forty years ; and for 
Old Sores or Ulcers, Eruptions, Rheumatism, Burns, Cbllblalns, 
scalds, l*iles. Chafes, &c., it surpasses every other known remedy. 

Rosenberger's Balm of Gilead Ointment 

Is composed of Oils and Balsams from trees and shrubs, and for all the diseases referred 
to by Dr. Cooper, we warrant it almost a specific. For Gall, Grease and 
Wounds of Horses, it has no equal. We warrant it ; therefore do not hesitate 
to try It for every kind of Wound, Bruise or Sore.

CAYUGA COUNTY. 



THIS CO VNTYvfus formed from Onondaga, March 8, 1799. 
Its territory was subsequently lessened by taking off Seneca Co., 
in 1804, and part of Tompkins, in 1817. It is long and narrow, 
lies west of the center of the State, and extends from the shore of 
Lake Ontario, south, nearly to the head of Cayuga Lake. The 
County contains an area of 756 square miles, exclusive of 160 square 
miles in Lake Ontario, and is 146 miles centrally distant from Al- 
bany. The surface inclines in a general northern direction, and is 
geographically divided into two nearly equa| parts, by a line ex- 
tending easterly from the foot of Cayuga Lake. The north half is 
level or gently undulating, and contains numerous marshes. Small, 
isolated drift hills are noticeable on some parts of the surface, some 
of them from 50 to 75 feet high. The surface of the south half is 
rolling, and gradually rises till it reaches an elevation of 500 to 800 
feet above the level lands of the north. These highlands take the 
form of two general ridges ; the first lying between Skaneateles and 
Owasco Lakes, the second between Owasco and Cayuga Lakes. 
Both have rolling summits, and stand 1,000 to 1,200 feet above 
tide, and their eastern declivities are often precipitous, terminating 
in bold bluffs on the shores of the lakes. The declivities on the 
west are more gradual, running down in gentle slopes to the wa- 
ter's edge. The valley of Salmon Creek, with its steep banks, from 
50 to 200 feet high, divides the south part of the most westerly 
ridge, near its center. The three long, narrow lakes, stretching 
from the level section of the north into the highlands of the south, 
constitute the most striking natural feature of this locality. Skan-

eateles Lake, lying on the east line, is bordered by bluff shores 
v/ithin the County, and is 840 feet above tide. Owasco Lake, near 
the center, presents a shore generally bold, and in some places pre- 
cipitous, and is 770 feet above tide. Cayuga, the largest of the 
three, lies along the western border, and its shores, so far as they 
lis in this -County, slope eveiily upwards to the summits of the 
ridges, and are generally dotted with thrifty looking farm houses, 
half hidden in shrubbery, forming some of the most delightful rural 
scenes anywhere to be found.. Cayuga Lake is 387 feet above tide, 
and its water, like that of tbe others, is transparently clear, a per- 
fect type of purity. Seneca River flows eastward, nearly through 
the center of the lowlands, which form the north half of the County. 
From the south it receives as tributaries Cayyga and Owasco Out- 
lets, and numerous smaller streams flow into it from both north 
and south. The swampy region, known as the " Montezuma 
Marshes," extends along the wiiole course of ^he river. The State 
has made repeated eflbrts to drain and reclaim these marshes, ex- 
pending large sums of money in the enterprise, but only a portion 
has yet been redeemed. The central ridges are drained by small 
creeks and brooks, and a series of small lakes and ponds are formed 
in the level regions in the north part of the County. The principal 
of these is Cross Lake. 

The rocks in Cayuga County are generally found lying in nearly 
horizontal strata, though in some places they are disrupted and 
broken. Their edges appear one above the other, forming the de- 
clivities of the hills that rise toward the south. The Medina sand- 
stone, the lowest formation, outcrops on the sliore of Lake Ontario, 
and covers the north half of the town of Sterling. Above this, in 
the south part of the same town, successively appear the Oneida 
conglomerate and Clinton groups. The Lockport group appears in 
Victory ; the red shale of the Onondaga salt group in Cato, Brutus, 
Conquest and Mentz; the gypsum of the same group in Auburn, 
Aurelius and Springport, and for some 10 miles along Cayuga 
Lake ; the Waterlime and Oriskany sandstone in Owasco, Auburn, 
Fleming and Springport. Above the Onondaga and corniferous 
lime-stone, we find the Marcellus and Hamilton slwiks,. Tully lime- 
stone, Genesee slate, and the Portage and Ithaca groups ; the last 
occupying the summits of the southern hills. Springs of weak brine 
are found in the Medina sand-stone, on the border of Lake Ontario, 
and also in the red shale of the salt group along Seneca River. — 
Along the shore of Cayuga Lake, and in the central part of the 
County, are numerous quarries, which furnish a gfxDd quality of 
quicklime, waterlime, and gypsum. The Onondaga and cornif- 
erous limestone, and the red sandstone, are extensively used for 
l)uilding stone. Thin layers of corniferous lime-stone, and of sand-

stone, ai-e quarried to considerable extent, along the bank of Cayu- 
ga Lake, and make excellent flagging stone. 

In the north half of the County, the soil is in general a fine quali- 
ty of sandy or gravelly loam, interspersed with clay, muck and allu- 
vium ; and in the south it is a very productive clay and gravelly 
loam. The entire County is well adapted to either pasturage or 
the cultivation of grain. For many years wheat was the staple 
production, but latteidy, it has been mostly superseded by rye, 
oats, barley, and corn. Wool-growing and dairying are extensive- 
ly followed. The climate and soil are admirably adapted to the 
cultivation of fruit, which is receiving considerable attention. The 
manufactures are confined mainly to Auburn, and are extensive, 
though comparatively less than in 1810. Spajforcrs Gazetteer, ■pub- 
lished in 1813, says : "The number of looms in the County were 
1,360, producing 340,870 yds. of cloth annually ; there are 19 tan- 
neries, 47 distilleries, 48 asheries, 11 carding machines, 11 cloth- 
dressing mills, 3 oil mills, one air furnace, ti ip-hammer, several 
nail Victories, 6 earthenware factories, and several hatters' shops. 
About 2,500 skeins of silk, and 60,000 bushels of salt are manufac- 
tured annually. The inhabitants clothe themselves principally in 
the products of their own fixmilies, and were it not for the exorbi- 
tant number of their distilleries, I should add, are very temperate 
and industrious — the character given them by correspondents." 

The County-seat is located at the city of Auburn. When organ- 
ized, in 1799, Cayuga included Seneca County, the territory be- 
tween the two lakes, Cayuga and Seneca; and as a then central 
tral point, the first court-house was located at Aurora, on the east 
shore of Cayuga Lake. It was built of poles and covered with 
brush. In 1803, a Circuit Court and Court of Oyer and Terminer 
was held in the primitive structure, by Daniel D. Tompkins, at 
which an Indian named John, w^as tried and sentenced to be hung 
for the murder of Ezekiel Crane, Jr. He plead that he might be 
shot, a privilege denied by the existing laws. A log building 
in Cayuga Village was authorized for use as a jail, March 25, 1800. 
An act was passed in 1804, authorizing John Tillotson, Augustus 
Chidsey, and John Grover, Jr., commissioners to build a court- 
house on the south-east corner of Lot No. 46, of Scipio, (now Au- 
burn.) This act was subsequently repealed, and on March 6, 1805, 
Edward Savage, of Washington County, Jas. Burt, of Orange, and 
Jas. Hildreth, of Montgomery, were appointed cominissioners to 
locate the site of a court-house. For some reason they neglect- 
ed to do so, and April 6, 1808, John Glover, Stephen Close and 
Noah Olmstead, were appointed to superintend the finishing of the 
court-house at Auburn, which was completed in 1809. It is hand- 
somely located in the south-west part of the city, on Genesee street, 
and contains the court room, and usual County oflices. The Conn- 



24 CATUGA COUNTY. 



ty Clerk's office, built of stone, in such a manner as to be fire-proof, 
is located adjacent to the court-house. A substantial stone jail was 
erected in the rear of the court-house, in 1833. It is 45x65 feet, 2 
stories, with 2 double and 26 single cells, arranged in the center 
of the building, with a hall on three sides, which is open to prison- 
ers during the day-time. The first County officers were, Seth 
Phelps, Judge ; William Stuart, District Attorney ; Benjamin Led- 
yard. County Clerk ; Joseph Annin, /SAer?^'; Glen Cuyler, Sur- 
rogate. 

The County Poor Plouse is located on a farm of 90 acres, in 
Sennett, three miles north-east of Auburn. The following statistics 
respecting it are gathered from the annual report of the Superin- 
tendents of the Poor, for the year 1866. The total expense for 
the year ending Nov. 1, 1866, was $14,373.79. 

The Stock of the County House Farm consists of two horses, 
eight cows, three calves, seven hogs, nineteen sheep, twelve lambs, 
fifty fowls. The products of the Farm were as follows : 

Twelve acres of oats — 500 bushels, $250 00 

Thirty tons of hay, SOO 00

The Cayuga Orphan Asylum, located in Auburn, was founded in 
1852, and is well managed. The Erie Canal extends through Bru- 
tus, Mentz and Montezuma. Cayuga Lake and its Outlet are 
navigable, and connect with the canal at Montezuma. The direct 
branch of the Nevf York Central from Syracuse to Rochester, runs 
through Brutus, Mentz, and Montezuma, and the Auburn branch 
extends through Sennett, Auburn and Aurelius. The Southern 
Central Rail Road intended to run from Sodus Bay to Auburn 
and Ithaca, or via Auburn and Moravia to Owego, and thence to 
the coal regions, is a project which has long been contemplated.* 
The grading of the route was commenced several years ago, but 
was finally abandoned, but opposition has at last been overcome 
and the work is now going on. This line, when completed, will 
prove of great advantage to localities along its route, as well as the 
County at large and the State. Another line, known as the Lake 
Shore route, to' extend from Cayuga to Ithaca, along the east shore 
of Cayuga Lake, is also strongly advocated, and will probably be 
built at no distant day. 

Two branch lines of the Western Union Telegraph extend through 
the County. They were put up by the United States Telegraph 
Company, in 1864, and were sold to the Western Union Company, 
in March, 1866. The Atlantic and Pacific Telegraph Company 
have in contemplation an extension of their line through this Coun- 
ty, by way of Auburn, during the coming summer.

Cayuga County formed a part of the Military Tract, and included 
the original Townships of Aurelius, Cato, Brutus, Scipio and Seni- 
pronius, and parts of Milton and Locke. Sterling was included 
in grants of compensation for portions of the original grant, which 
upon survey were found to belong to the Boston Ten Towns. 
Before the advent of thewhites,this formed the main hunting ground of 
the Cayuga Nation. The Cayugas were of more migratory habits 
than the Senecas and Onondagas, and had fewer towns and villages. 
There principal town or place of council was near the present vil- 
lage of Aurora. Seventy years ago the greater portion of Central 
New York was known as the Onondaga Military Tract. By act of 
Congress every soldier and non-commissioned ofticer who served 
in the army of the Revolution, was granted one hundred acres of 
bounty land in consideration of such service. On March 27, 1783, 
the Legislature of this State resolved to increase this to six hun- 
dred acres for those who had served in the New York Line. The 
Albany Treaty of 1788 — 89 extinguished the Indian title to the 
lands in Central New York, east of Seneca Lake, with the exception 
of a few reservations. The Military Lands were immediately 
located there, and the Tract, embracing the present counties of 
Cayuga, Cortland, Seneca, and Onondaga, with parts of Wayne, 
Steuben, and Oswego, was laid out ir.to twenty-eight townsiiips, 
each divided into lots of six hundred acres each. This division was 



CAYUGA COUNTY. 29 



made during the years 1789, 1790, and 1791. The officers who 
superintended the survey of the Tract, fresh from the battle fields 
of the Revolution", and fomiliar with the early history of the repub- 
lics of Greece and Rome, named these townshij)s chiefly after the 
statesmen and warriors of classical times. The names of the 
twenty-eight townships were as follows : — Hector, Ulysses, Solon, 
'Cincinnatus, Ovid, Romulus, Scipio, Aurelius, Brutus, Camillus, 
Marcellus, Sempronius, Tully, Fabius, Pompey, Manlius, Cicero, 
Lysander, Hannibal, Cato, Galen, Junius, Sterling, Milton, Locke, 
Homer, Virgil, and Dryden. Most of these names are still re- 
tained. The first white settlers were soldiers or those who pui'chased 
soldiers' warrants. The habits of the former had unsuited them for 
a life of pioneering, and comparatively few of them settled on their 
claims, though Captain Franklin, the first settler of Cayuga County, 
was an exception to the general rule. Tvlost of the land fell into 
the hands of speculators, many farms of six hundred acres being 
disposed of for a suit of clothes or a few gallons of whisky. The 
price of land warrants in 1788 was $8, and in 1792 only $30. Most 
of the same lots are now worth $100 per acre, or upwards. The 
first immigration was by the way of Oneida Lake and River, and 
from the south by way of Cayuga Lake. But in 1796 a State road 
was cut through, extending from Whitestown to Geneva, by way of 
Auburn; and in 1800 the celebrated Cayuga Bridge was built, and 
the new route speedily became the great highway of emigration 
westward. This bridge was finished Sept. 4, 1800, by the Manhat- 
tan Company. It was one mile and eight rods long, twenty-two 
feet wide and twenty -two feet between trestles. It was built in 18 
months at a cost of $150,000. The Cayuga Bridge Company con- 
sisted of John Harris, Thomas Morris, Wilhelmus Myndcrse, 
Charles Williamson, and Joseph Annin, and was incorporated in 
1797. The bridge was destroyed in 1808 and was afterward 
rebuilt, but in 1857 it was abandoned and now nothing remains 
but some of the piles. For many years it was considered one of 
the greatest public improvements of the State, and was taken as the 
dividing line between the east and the west. The population of 
Cayuga County steadily increased from 1790, and received a grand 
impetus through the completion of the Erie Canal, in 1825. 



jil/UITIiN' CTTY was formed as a town from Aurelius, 
March 28, 1823. It was incorporated as a village, April 18, 1815, 
:aid as a city, March 21, 1848. It is situated on Owasco Outlet, 
near the centre of the County, and is finely located, the streets being 
handsomely laid out on both sides of the Outlet, \vhich furnishes an 
abundant water power. The creek flows north-west, nearly through 
the centre, and has a descent of 120 feet. Along its course are 
valuable quarries of waterlime, Oriskany sandstone, and Onondaga 
and corniferous limestone. It is located in the midst of a rich and 
beautiful farming country, and has an extensive internal trade. Its 
manufactures are important, consisting mainly of woolen goods, 
paper, agricultural implements, books, flour and machinery. Be- 
sides the county buildings, it contains 11 churches, 8 banking 
institutions, beside many splendid public and private buildings. 
One daily, one monthly, and three weekly papers are published in 
the city. 

The city occupies the site of the ancient Indian village of Osco, 
(written Was-Kough in the treaty of 1780) which was the point 
where the great trail of the Iroquois crossed the outlet of the 
Owasco, or Osco. The crossing was effected on stones in the stream, 
and hence the name "Osco," which signifies a crossing by means of 
stepping stones. The city unnoubtedly received its name from tlie 
opening apostrophe of Goldsmith's well-known poem, " The De- 
serted Village," — 

" Sweet Ai;burn ! Loveliest villajye of the plaiu, 
Wliere health and plenty cheered the laboring swain; 
Where Spring its earliest visit paid, 
And parting Summer's lingering blooms delayed." 

This beautiful description may well be applied to the thriving

that is desirable. It originally comprised six military lots of 640 
acres each. The old records disclose that lot No. 46, of the town 
of Aurelius, was drawn by Alexander McCoy, of the 1st Reg't, 
New York Line, as bounty land. This was in 1783, and in Sept., 
1791, McCoy deeded ^00 acres of his land to John Brow^n in con- 
sideration of the sum of £11 to him paid. Brown sold to Jarvis 
Dusenberry in the following month, and in November of the same 
year it w-as transferred to Philip Van Courtlandt, for the sum of 
£35. The whole of this lot subsequently passed into the hands of 
Robert Dill, who purchased it at various times, except what was 
known as the States Hundred Acres, which was sold by Van Court- 
landt to William Bostv/ick for $75. Lot No. 47 was drawn by 
Cap't John Doughty, of the New York Artillery, and by him 
deeded to Martin and Josiah Ogden Hoffman, March 1, 1789, for 
£150. The Hoffmans sold the entire lot to Col. John L. Harden- 
burgh, for £180. Those two lots, 46 and 47, comprised what is 
now the heart of the city. Lot No. ?7, in the north-Avest part of 
the town, was drawn in 1790, by private George Weaver, who 
assigned his title to Michael Overocker. Albert Paulding next 
bought it and sold it to Robert Dill. Lot No. 38, in the north-east 
part, was drawn at the same time by Alexander Mills, who, in 1798, 
sold it to Joseph Preston, of New York, for £50. 300 acres were 
afterward sold to Noah Olmstead, Jr., and the remainder to Gar- 
rett Van Wagner. John Mason, Chaplain, rnd Peter .Gansevort, 
Colonel, drew lots 56 and 57. At the time of early settlement the 
country was heavily wooded, and a dense growth of hemlocks lined 
the banks ofOwasco Creek for a number of miles. The banks of 
the creek were very steep, especially where the Prison now stands. 
W here now is the Post Office, there was a deep gulley, and on the 
laying out of Dill street, it was rim directly through a tamarack 
swamp. So uninviting was the land where the city now is that 
settlers moved off into the south part of the County, little foreseeing 
that on the land so cheaply surrendered was to spring up one of 
the most beautiful and flourishing cities of the State. 

In 1793, Col. John L. Hardenburgh, an officer of the Revolution, 
settled in the place, which was known as Hardenburgh's Corners 
till 1805. He put up a log house where the front of the City Llall 
now stands, and soon after erected a saw mill and a grist mill, the 
latter being situated on the site afterward occupied by Hills & Hall's 
Mill, and being twenty-one feet square, with two run of stone. Wm. 
Bostwick came in 1794, and built a log tavern on South street, and 
afterward put up the building known as Bostwick's Tavern, on the 
site of the Western Exchange. Dr. H. Burt settled at the Cor- 
ners, in 1795, and Elijah Esty and Lyman Paine in 1800. From 
eight to ten families were in the new settlement in 1796, and four 
years later, Robert Dill built a saw mill and moved his family to

the place in 180G, In 1800, a post-office was established, with 
Walter D. Nichols as Post-master. The records afford no infor- 
mation as to whether this appointment occasioned as much strife as 
similar ones do in these latter times. Dr. Crossett was added to 
the list of settlers in 1795, and was the second Post-master, being 
succeeded by Enos T. Throop, who kept the office in the store 
of Horace and Eleazer Hills, where Brown & Lee's establishment 
stands. The public houses at this date, were Treat's, Bostwick's, 
and Horner's, the latter on Genesee street, near the Outlet. In 
1804, Watrous Pomeroy moved here. In the same year we find 
that Nathaniel Garrow and Lyman Paine had asheries ; Kobert 
and John Patty, a distillery ; and Terry and Dibble each a black- 
smith shop. In 1804, the first line of stages from Albany to Can- 
andaigua passed through the place, and in the succeeding year it 
dropped the title of Hardensburgh's Corners, and assumed its pres- 
ent name, Auburn. 

In 1805, Enos T. Throop, afterward Governor Throop, had a law 
office in a log-house, on the ground now occupied by the residence 
of Mr. Morgan. In 180G, he formed a co-partnership with Judge 
Richardson, and their office was then removed to Horner's Tavern. 
The population at that time had reached 250. Among the earliest 
lawyers in the place, beside the gentlemen just named, we may 
mention Moses S. Sawyer, Walter B. Nichols and Zephaniah Cas- 
well. The first cause to which the new village of Auburn owed its 
growth, was its excellent water privileges, and the second the re- 
moval of the County-seat from Aurora, in 1807, its location at Au- 
burn, and the commencement of the Court House. It is generally 
believed that for the latter step the town was indebted to the 
influence of William Bostwick, who deeded to the Commissioners 
the present site of the building. An oil mill of considerable im- 
portance went into operation in the same year. In 1808, H. & J. 
Pace commenced to publish The Western Federalist, the first pa- 
per in Auburn, and we here copy the original subscription paper, 
which is valuable, inasmuch as it shows who were the most promi- 
nent and active residents at that time. The following is a copy : 
"We, the subscribers, being anxious to encourage the printing of a 
public newspaper in the village of Auburn, in the town of Aurclius, 
in the County of Cayuga, do engage to pay Oraa E. Baker and 
Normand Rush, the several sums annexed to our respective names, 
immediately after said Oran and Normand shall establish a print- 
ing press in said village, and issue one paper, to be repaid bj^ them 
in two years from the date of this : Noah Husted, $5 ; David Hor- 
ner, $10; Robert Dill, $15; Samuel Crossett, $5 ; Seth Burijcss, 
$5; E. T. Throop, 15 ; Elijah Esty, $3; Henry Polhumus,'83 ;

er, $2 ; Zenas Goodrich, 82 ; Stephen Close, $5 ; David Hyde, 62 ; 
Watrous Pomroy, $2 ; Moses Lyon, $2 ; Joseph Grover, 64." 

De Witt Clinton passed thi'ough the place in 1810, and gives the 
following description of it in his private journal : " It contains three 
tanneries, three distilleries, one coach maker, two v:atch makers, 
four taverns, two tailors, six merchants, three shoe makers, two 
potasheries, two wagon makers,. three blacksmiths, two chair ma- 
kers, three saddlers, three physicians, one Presbyterian clergyman, 
and an incorporated lil>i'ary of two hundred and twenty volumes. It 
is the county, town, and has about ninety houses, three law 'offices, 
a post-office, the court-house and the County Clerk's office. It is a 
fine growing place, and is indebted to its hydraulic works and the 
court-house for its prosperity. There are sixteen lawyers in Cayu- 
ga County. Auburn has no church. The court-house is used for 
divine worship. 

" It is situate on the outlet of Owasco Lake, on Nos. 4G and 47, 
Aurelius ; one hundred acres of 46 belongs to W. Bostwick, inn- 
keeper, and the remainder to Robert Dill. The former has asked 
one hundred and fifty dollars for half-acre lots, the court house being 
on his land, and the latter has asked three hundred dollars for a 
water lot on the outlet, which is not navigable. No. 47 belongs to 
the heirs of John L. Hardenbergh, and covers the best waters of 
the outlet, and a fine, rapid stream. Auburn is eight miles from 
Cayuga Lake, three from Owasco Lake, and not seventy-five from 
Utica. Owasco Lake is twelve miles long and one wide. The 
outlet is fourteen miles long, and on it are the following hydraulic 
establishments : nine saw mills, two carding machines, two turners' 
shops, one trip hammer and blacksmith's shop, two oil mills, five 
grist mills, three fulling mills, one bark mill, and several tanneries. 
At the lower falls Mr. Dill has a furnace in which he uses old iron, 
there being no iron ore. 

"At this place there is a Federal newspaper published by Pace, 
the former partner of James Thompson Callender. Pace settled 
first at Aurora, being allured there by Walter Wood ; and being 
starved out there, he came here, and is principally supported by 
advertisements of mortgages, which must, if there be any paper in 
the county where the lands lie, be printed in it, and this is the only 
one in Cayuga County. 

" The machine for picking wool is excellent. The carding ma- 
chine is next used, and turns out the wool in complete rolls. ' It can 
card one hundred and twelve pounds per day, and one man can tend 
both. Four shillings per pound is given for wool. Carding, pick- 
ing, and greasing wool, (the grease furnished by the owner of the 
wool,) is eight pence per pound. There are upwards of twenty 



34 CAYUGA COUNTY. 



carding machines in this County, and great numbers of sheep are 
driven to the New York market. 

"The linseed oil mill can express fifteen gallons of oil in a day, 
and with great eiTort, a barrel. The flax seed is broken by two mill 
stones, placed perpendicularly like those of bark mills, and follow- 
ing each other in succession. Seed costs from two to seven shillings 
per bushel, and a bushel produces three or four quarts. The oil 
sells at the mdl for nine shillings a gallon. Oil is also expressed 
from the seed of the sunflower. One bushel makes two gallons. 
It is excellent for burning and makes no smoke. Oil is also made 
here from Palma Christi. 

"At a mill north-west from Auburn, on 37, Aurelius, a spring 
rises perpendicularly out of the level earth. It produces two hogs- 
heads a minute, and immediately forms a mill stream. A few 
yards below it is a fulling mill. The water is uncommonly good 
and cold. I found in it a honey-combed fossil, like those at the 
Sulphur springs, and at Geneva. The spring is called the Cold 
Spring. There are two or three others near it, and the creek formed 
by them, called Cold Spring Creek, contains excellent trout. About 
a mile from the Cold Spring, there is a Sulphur Spring. From 
the fossils found at the Cold Spring, and the coldness of the water, 
it must run over sulphur. There is a Sulphur Spring on the margin 
of Cayuga Lake. 

" At Fort Hill, we saw several holes, whieh appeared to have 
been dug within a few years, by superstitious persons, in search of 
money. One mile north from Auburn, there is a similar work, 
covering four acres. Pieces of Indian earthenware have been found 
in it. It has a very high breast-work. It contains a north gate, 
the entrance of which must have been from the west, and produced 
by the lapping of the breast-work. A large oak tree, three and a 
half feet in diameter, was cut down on the breast-work, which, from 
the circles on it, must have been two hundred and sixty years old. 
The whole is surrounded by a ditch." 

In 1810, the vote in Cayuga County for Governor, was 1,880 for 
Daniel D. Tompkins, and 580 for Jonas Piatt, and, according to 
the census, in 1811, the County contained a population of 29.840. 
During the same year the building of the Academy commenced. 
Robert Dill donated the site, consisting of five acres of land, em- 
bracing nearly all the land between Chapel street on the north, 
Garden street on the south. North street on the east, and State 
street on the west. In consideration of this very liberal donation, 
other citizens assumed the responsibility of erecting the school 
building, but after having commenced and nearly completed the 
work, they were obliged to stop for lack of funds. In this emer- 
gency, Mr. Dill promptly came forward and generously donated 



CAYUOA COUNTY. 35 



the five hundred dollars necessary to complete it. The present 
Court House and County Clerk's Office were finished the same 
year. The matrimonial aflfairs of Auburn seem to have been 
greatly disturbed about this time. The papers were filled with ad- 
vertisements of elopements, and desertions of husband by wife, and 
vice versa. We copy but one of fifteen which appeared in the col- 
umns of the village paper in the course of a very few months. It 
seems that Arba M. Seymour cautions the public against harboring 
or trusting his wife, Pliebe, on his account; but the amiable Phebe 
takes exception to this view of the ease, and retorts as follows: 

"Take Notice. — In answer to the above, "Whereas, Arba M. Seymour has 
eloped his bed and board," a mistake, sir, for he has neither bed nor board, to 
my linowledge, but leavins; nie and two children witlaoutany just cause or occa- 
sion, and not only that, but took my clothes and used them for himself. I liere- 
by caution strangers to beware trusting him, (but where he is acquainted I think 
it is needless) as I pay no debts of his contracting. 

PiiEBE Seymour." 

In ]815 the first fire company was organized, the building of the 
State Prison was commenced, and Auburn with lO'^O inhabitants 
secured a village charter. In 1817 the Bank of Auburn was char- 
tered, with $200,000 capital, and in the following year their present 
banking house was erected. In 1817 the village contained a popu- 
lation of 151'G inhabitants, with 148 dwelling houses, 20 stores and 
40 mechanic shops. In 1818 the number of inhabit,ants had increased 
to 2,047, a gain of 541. There were in the village at that time 294 
families, 10 slaves, 1 Presbyterian and 1 Episcopal church and one 
place of public worship for the Methodist Society, a Court House, 
County Clerk's Office, 1 bank, the State Prison, 211 dwelling 
houses, 12 offices, 23 stores, 2 market houses, 16 groceries, 74 
mechanic shops, 10 mills, stills, and 104 out-buildings, making 
an afjcregate of 525 buildings of all kinds. 130 laborers were 
employed on the State Prison, of whom 75 were transient, and at 
the time the census was taken, out of a population of 2,047, only 
tivo persons were confined to bed by sickness. In 1829 the Amer- 
ican Hotel was built by Col. Sherwood. The Western Exchange, 
then known as Coe's Hotel, was standing as early as 1817. It was 
then a two-story building with a low linter in the rear, which was 
used as a kitchen. In 1825 it was raised and enlarged t© its present 
size by Mr. Hudson. In 1833 the present Jail was completed, at 
an expense of |800(J, the Cayuga County Bank was chartered, with 
a capital stock of $250,000. In 1834 their fine and commodious 
banking house was put up. The Young Men's Association, num- 
bi'i-ing about 100 members, was organized about the same time. 
Its reading room was furnishr.l with the best attainable American 
and foreign periodical literature, in 1835 the big dam was built, 
in order to continue the navigation of Owasco Lake throush the 



36

Outlet to the village. This ■was heralded as a grand step in the 
march of progress, and the corner-stone was laid by Hon. Rowland 
Day, amid the booming of cannon from either side of the stream. 
The stone bore this inscription : 

"The corner-stone of the Auburn and Owasco Canal, was laid 
October 14, Anno Domini, 1835, and of American Independence, 
the OOth." 

In an article written by Mr. Oliphant, about that time, he says : 
"The rise of our village has been regular and yet rapid. It has ex- 
perienced none of those sudden fluctuations in trade or property, 
none of those devastations from disease, none of those sudden 
checks upon its prosperity, which are too frequently experienced by 
other villages. Indeed, as to healthiness of situation, we believe it 
stands unsurpassed by any town in the State; never, since the gen- 
eral epidemic. of 1813, having been visited by anything like pesti- 
lence. Even while cholera was destroying its victims in almost 
every section of the country, not a single individual in this section 
was taken. And in relation to the scourge of fire, too, we have been 
most remarkably preserved. Since the destruction of St. Peter's 
church, in 1832, we have not experienced a fire worthy of notice ; 
and as a proof of this, let it be mentioned, (for we believe it to be 
a fact,) that not over $15 have been paid by the several insurance 
oflices during the past five yeaj's, for losses sustained by our 
citizens." 

At that time Auburn contained nearly COOO inhabitants. The 
number of private buildings, schools,churches and public edifices had 
increased, and the business of the town was growing in importance 
and extent. Since that time it has steadily gi-own from a village 
to a city, having been incorporated as such in 1848, and groat and 
important improvements are being constantly added. In the past 
twenty-five years no specially memorable event has occurred in its 
history, aside from the increase of manufacturing interests, the or- 
ganization of new and extensive business corporations, and the 
completion of public improvements w^hich will be referred to in the 
proper connection. 

The Indian village of Osco, was situated on Fort Hill, an emi- 
nence which, in the language of Mr. Schoolcraft : 

"lias attracted notice from the earliest times. Its height is 
such as to render it a very commanding spot, and crowned as it wns 
with a pentagessimal work, earthen ramparts, and palisades of en- 
tire elficacy against Indian missiles, it must have been an impreg- 
nable stronghold during the period of their early intestine wars. 
The site of this work is the highest land in the vicinity, and a visit 
to it affords one of the best and most varied views of the valley of 
the Owasco, and the thriving and beautiful inland town of Auburn, 
with its public buildings, prison, and other noted public edifices.- — 



CAYUGA COUNTY. 37 



The ellipsis inclosed by the embankments (six feet high at the be- 
ginning of this century, but now not more than two or three,) with 
their intervening spaces has a circumference of twelve hundred feet." 
The query arises as to who were the builders of this mound. Its 
appearance forbids the idea that it was the work of recent years, 
for on the embankment stand large forest trees which have evidently 
grown to their present altitude since the curious mound was con- 
structed. It is settled that the fortress of Osco was not built by 
the Iroquois, but. by a race antecedent to them in timeandjiossessed 
of superior intelligence. The traditions of the Mexican nations 
assert that the mound builders were a people called the Alle- 
ghans, " who originally hunted south and west of the Missis- 
sippi." It is supposed that in the eleventh century, before the 
overthrow of the Toltec and the establishment of the Aztec empire 
in Mexico, "they removed northward and eastward into the valley 
of the Ohio, where they subsisted about three hundred years." 
The traditions of the Cayugas claim that the Alleghans came from 
that same region ; that far back the ancient Iroquois were involved 
in long, but successful wars with the nations of the southwest, who 
had made their way into the country south of the lakes and con- 
structed along the Ohio valley and east as far as Osco, earthen 
altars for the worship of the sun, mounds for the interment of their 
dead, and embankments for security and defence. That while they 
were yet in possession of these works, and before all wei-e comple- 
ted, they were forced to acknowledge the sovereignty of the Six 
Nations over this territory, and evacuated all their posts east of the 
Mississippi, having given their name to the Alleghany mountains 
and also to an important river of that country. So far as can be 
iiscertained from tradition and observation of their monuments, the 
Alleghans were driven from their fortress of Osco during the 13th 
century, leaving behind them their sacred altar and the ashes of 
their dead. This, then, is the key to the mystery. Osco was the 
eastern terminus of a series of strongholds erected by the Alleghans 
through the valleys of the Mississippi and the Ohio. 

According to the traditions of the Cayugas, Osco was the birth- 
place of Logan, the celebrated chieftain, who was the greatest orator 
and wisest sage of the Iroquois. His Indian name was Tah-gah-jute, 
and he was the second son of ShikeUinms, a distinguished sachem 
of the Cayugas. About fifty years before the Revolution, Shikelii- 
mus, with some two hundred of his people, on account of the scarcity 
of food, removed to the region of Shamokin, Pennsylvania. Tah- 
gah-jute was then about seven years old. His father became an 
ardent friend of the white man, and was appointed Indian agent. 
The chief, with his entire family, embraced the doctrines of Christi- 
anty, and with them was received into the Christian Church. — 
c 



38 CAYUGA COUNTY. 



Tah-gah-jute, on being baptized, received the name of Logan, in 
honor of James Logan, Secretary of the Province. He inherited 
the talents and peaceful virtues which distinguished his tather, after 
whose death he became a chieftain. In the same yeai", according to 
his father's wish, he married Alvaretta, daughter of Ontonegea, a 
sJKihem of great renown. She is represented as having been won- 
drously beautiful, with a piercing eye, comely figure, and gentle 
manners. Little is known of her beyond her unhappy fate. In the 
spring of 1774, a robbery and murder was committed in one of the 
white settlements on the Ohio, which were charged to the Indians; 
how justly is not positively known. A large number of civilized 
but inhuman adventurers were prowling around the border settle- 
ments at that period, disguised as Indians, who thought little more 
of killing a human being than of shooting a buffalo. A part of these 
men undertook to punish the outrage, according, as Mr. Jefferson 
stated it, to their custom, in a summary way. Col. Cresap, a man 
infamous for the untold murders he had perpetrated among the 
natives, collected a party and proceeded down the Kenhawa in quest 
of vengeance. While pursuing their journey, a canoe containing 
several women and children, with but one man among the number, 
was seen approaching from the opposite shore, unarmed, and unsus- 
pecting. Cresap and his party concealed themselves on the bank, 
and as the canoe touched the shore, singling out their victims, fired, 
killing every one in it. This was the family of Logan, who, of all 
his tribe, should have been the last to receive even the slightest 
injustice from the whites whom he had ever befriended. Not long 
after this terrible blow the chieftain sustained another in the loss of 
his brother and sister who were also killed by the whites. The 
pacific spirit of Logan was stung to madness by these events and he 
took up the war-cry of vengeance. He distinguished himself by 
daring exploits during the war that followed between the Virginians 
and the Indian tribes. The latter were finally routed, and it was at 
the treaty following the great battle that Logan delivered the speech 
that will render his name famous for many centuries to come. 

Mr. Jefferson said of it : " I may challenge the whole orations of 
Demosthenes or Cicero, and of any more eminent orator, if Europe 
has furnished more eminent, to produce a single passage superior to 
the speech of Logais." 

Thatcher says: "The melancholy history of Logan must be dis- 
missed with no relief -to its gloomy colors. He was himself a 
victim to the ferocious. cruelty which had already rendered him a 
desolate man. Not long after the treaty, a party of whites mur- 
dered him as he was returning from Detroit to his own country." 

When the inhabitants of Auburn wisely determined to preserve 
the antiquities of Fort Hill by converting it into a beautiful burial 
place for their dead, it was deemed proper to pay some respectful 



CAYUGA COUNTY. 39 



tribute to the memory of the eloquent but unfortunate chief. Ac- 
cordingly they erected a monument, in commemoration of his 
character and deeds, on Fort Alleghan, where once the Alleghans 
paid adoration to the sun, and the Cayugas, in later times, wor- 
shipped the Great Spirit. The monument is an obelisk of 'native 
limestone, bearing on its northern face a marble tablet with the 
simple yet eloquent appeal, " Who is there to mourn for Logan f 
This simple shaft is a conspicuous object in the beautiful ceme- 
tery which contains many fine vaults and monuments. 

The State Prison at Auburn, is an object of no little interest to 
those who visit the city, and has proved a source of prosperity to 
the place. In 1815, the heirs of Robert Dill agreed to give the 
State six acres of land whereon to locate a Prison, in case one 
should be erected here; and in 1816, Tohn Beach was elected 
to the Legislature to aid in brinsfintj about that result. After a se- 
vere contest with Utica, Canandaigua, and other towns, Auburn 
was successful, and the six acres were donated by the Dill estate, 
according to agreement. This has since been increased to ten acres, 
we believe, by purchase on the part of the State. The Prison 
buildings are situated on the north bank of Owasco Outlet, north of 
the center of the city. The whole is inclosed by a rectangular w\al], 
1000x500 feet, and the prison building has a front of nearly 500 
feet. The workshops forms a range 1000 feet in length, lighted 
from the roof and inner side. The cells are built in a block 5 sto- 
ries high, separated from the exterior walls by an open space, and 
surrounded by galleries. Each cell is 7 feet long, 3* wide, and 7^ 
high, closed by an iron grate. Breakfast and dinner are eaten at 
narrow tables, seating about 20, so arranged that the convicts can 
neither exchange looks or signs. Supper is eaten in the cells. Du- 
ring the day, convicts are employed in the various shops, under the 
charge of keepers, on contracts let by the State to individuals. The 
convict labor proves a source of revenue to the State, making the 
Prison nearly or quite self-sustaining. At night the prisoners are 
locked in separate cells, of which there are now 1100, and 300 
more are being provided in a building now being constructed. The 
prison buildings were commenced in 1816, and finished in 1819, 
by the State, at a cost of $300,000, exclusive of the convict labor 
expended on them. There are now 937 convicts in the Prison. On 
Sabbath, from 7J to 82^ A. M., every convict, except those in hos- 
pital and employed in the kitchen, is obliged to be present at the 
Sabbath School, held in the chapel, and also at chapel service there- 
after. The prison library contains about 4000 volumes, to which 
the prisoners have access. The following are the present contrac- 
tors, with the price paid for convict labor, and time when the con- 
tract expires : —

The Lunatic Asylum. In the year 1855, the State instructed the 
Board of Inspectors to provide a place suitable for the occupation of 
all the insane convicts of the State, but no appropriation was made 
therefor, till 1857, when $20,000 was voted. In June of that year, 
the present edifice, of brick and stone, was commenced on a lot in 
the rear of the Prison, five hundred feet square. The building was 
completed, ready for the reception of patients, in February, 1859. 
The length of the street front of the building, is 294 feet ; the center 
structure is 100x27 feet. There are transepts on each wing, 25 
feet front by 60 deep. The center building contains the Medical 
Superintendent's private apartments, the ofiices, the kitchens, and 
the patients' dining rooms. The wings and transepts are devoted 
to the use of patients. They contain four main halls, 100 feet long, 
and eight transept halls, 25 feet long. The dormitories which open 
off the halls, are 64 in number, each 8x10 feet, with sinks and water 
closets leading from each hall. The heating apparatus is in the 
basement, which runs the entire length of the building. The main 
structure is three stories, beside the basement ; the wings are two 
stories. A rear building, 40x90 feet, contains the chapel, sewing 
room, apothecary shop, assistants' private apartments, an infirmary, 
bakery, store room, bowling alley and cook-room. Another 
building, forty by twenty-eight feet, has a wash-room, boiler- 
room, ironing and drying room, carpenter and blacksmith 
shop, soap room and ice house. The garden is cultivated 
entirely by patients, and furnishes enough vegetables for the use of 
the institution. In the rear of all these edifices, is a large yard for 
exercise, well shaded and pleasant. The Medical Superintendent, 
upon whom devolves the entire charge of the patients, as such, and 
of every department of the Asylum as well, resides in the building. 
All the work is performed by patients with the exception of one 
person in charge of each of the four departments, storehouse, cook- 
ing, gardening and washing. The patients in the four halls are 
graded according to the degree of their insanity, and are under the 
charge of attendants, when not laboring. They are also visited by 
the Superintendent several times a day. From the Superinten- 
dent's report we learn that during the fiscal year 1860, the whole 
number treated was 77, of whom 40 were Americans, 18 Irish, 10 



CAYUGA COUNTY. 41 



Germans, 3 English, 2 Italians, 1 Prussian, 1 Swiss, 1 Cuban, 1 
Belgian. The average weekly cost of supporting the patients du- 
ring said year, is shown by the report to have been $4.36 3-5. 

The Public Schools of Auburn, are justly the pride of the city, 
which is divided into five school districts. Each of the five public 
schools is under the charge of a principal, with four or five assis- 
tants. The total annual attendance is not fiirfrom 1500, and school 
is kept 44 weeks of the year. The school buildings are handsome, 
commodious, and well adapte.d to preserve the health and promote 
the comfort of pupils. The public schools are under the supervision 
of a Board of Education, consisting of ten members, composed of 
one Commissioner from each ward, and one Trustee from each 
school district, with the Mayor as President ex-officio. 

Auburn Academic High School was incorporated by Act of the 
Legislature in March, 1866, and is free to all residents of the city. 
It is pleasantly located, and is securing an excellent reputation. 

The Young Ladies' Institute was established in May, 1855, and 
is a select fixmily and day school. The course of study is thorough 
and comprehensive. 

The Theological Seminary was incorporated in 1820, and opened 
in 1821. Its theological interests were committed to representa- 
tives annually to be chosen from the following Presbyteries : Ni- 
agara, Genesee, Rochester, Bath, Ontario, Geneva, Cayuga, Onon- 
daga, Oneida, and St. Lawrence. The representatives were to con- 
sist of two clergymen and one layman from each Presbytery, who, 
when organized, were denominated the Board of Commissioners. 
By them Professors are elected and vacancies in the Board of Trus- 
tees are filled. The presentFaculty consists of Henry Mills, D.D., 
Jonathan B. Condit, D. D., EdNvin Hall, D. D., Samuel Hopkins, 
D. D., E, A. Huntington, D. D., J. E. Pierce, D. D. The finan- 
cial affairs of the institution are committed to the Board of Trustees. 
This old established school of theology has secured a wide spread 
reputation on account of its high character and able management, 
and is rightfully considered one of the best of that class of institu- 
tions in the country. Beside the schools above named, there are 
a number of private places of instruction, which are well patron- 
ized. 

The Auburn Water Worhs Company was organized by a special 
charter from the Legislatui-e, April 19th, 1859, for the purpose of 
supplying the city with water from the Owasco Lake, The work 
of construction was delayed until March, 1863, on account of pro- 
curing a suitable location, with sufficient elevation for reservoirs. 
At this time the Company was fully organized by the subscriptions 
to its Capital Stock of 1100,000, and the election, as Directors, of 
Sylvester Willard, M. D., Josiah Barber, Elmore P. Ross, Cyrus 
C. Dennis, Harmon Woodruff, Edward H. Avery, Geo. W, Peck, 



43 CAYUGA COUNTY. 



Theodore M. Pomeroy and Albert H, Goss. Charles H, Peet, 
foreman of Works. 

The attention of the Directors was called to a system of water 
works erected in Lockport, N. Y., by B. Holly, Esq., dispensing 
with reservoirs and using force pumps to force the water directly 
into the mains. The works were duly constructed for the Com- 
pany by Mr. Holly, and accepted, and have successfully met every 
requirement, both for the supply of water for daily use throughout 
the city and also as a perfect safeguai'd from conflagrations. The 
supply of water is drawn from the outlet of the Owasco Lake, about 
two miles from the city. At this point a wheel house, 30 by 35 
feet, has been erected, two stories high. The upper story is arranged 
lor the family residence of the Superintendent in charge of the 
machinery. In the lower story is placed three of Mr. Holly's cele- 
brated Turbine Water Wheels — one of 60 and two of 100 horse 
power — under a head of fifteen feet. Each of the large wheels 
drives one of Holly's Rotary Elliptical Power Pumps, capable of 
discharging 1,000,000 gallons of water every 24 hours. The smal- 
ler pump has a capacity of about 425,000 gallons every 24 hours. 
The design of three sets of wheels and pumps is to vary the sup- 
ply of water according to the wants of the city — running one, two 
or three of them, as needed. The wheels are so arranged as to ap- 
ply the power of either m' heel to either pumjD, or the power of one 
wheel to two pumps, or the power of two wheels to one pump. The 
water is forced through 12-inch pipe into the main street of the 
city, and then through reduced sizes of 8, 6, 4 and 3 inches, is dis- 
tributed through different localities. The farthest hydrant is fully 
three miles from the wheel house. The flow of water for the 
daily supply of the city is secured with perfect regularity and pre- 
cision. In case of fire, by combinations of safety valves and a 
system of telegraphing by water, ingeniously contrived by Mr. 
Holly, any additional amount can be almost instantly thrown to 
any required point in the city. By simply opening any of the hy- 
drants, the pressure is reduced in the regulating cylinder at the 
Wheel House — this reduction depresses the piston — starts the regu- 
lator which hoists one or more of the gates — rings a bell in the 
Superintendent's sleeping apartment, and promptly calls him to his 
duty. Upon repeated tests the opening of a hydrant in the city has 
rung the alarm bell in the Superintendent s room at the toheel house., 
from two to three iniles distant, within three seconds, as near as it 
was possible to determine by watches set and compared. As soon 
as fire is extinguished, the closing of one or more hydrants will so 
act upon the same regulator, safety valves, piston and cylinder, as 
to close the gates again, and bring the flow of water in the pipes to 
the same pressure required for the ordinary supply of the city. — 
This water telegraph of Mr. Holly's will operate not only tliree 



CAYUOA COUNTY. 43 



miles, up hill and down, cas at Auburn, but for longer distances, 
well nigh as instantaneous as the Atlantic Cable registers a mes- 
sage from one extremity to the other. 

In the years 1865, 1866, about eight miles of mains were laid 
throughout the city, for fire protection and private use, and the 
Company continue to extend their pipes, under the direction of the 
Common Council. These works have attracted a good deal of at- 
tention and commendation from diiferent parts of the country, and 
are pronounced the best water works in the United States. The 
water for private use is the purest kind, taken from the beautiful 
Owasco Lake, and is conducted through the New Jersey Company's 
Patent Cement Pipe and. is coming into general use by the citizens 
of Auburn, and is a great luxury and adds an additional attraction to 
the beautiful city of Aulnirn. 

The Cayuga Asylum for destitute children, was founded by the 
unwearied efforts of a few benevolent ladies, in the spring of 1852, 
and incorporated by an Act of the Legislature the same year. 

"The object of this Institution (as specified in the Act of Incorpo- 
ration,) shall be to provide a home for orphan, half-orphan and des- 
titute children, supply their necessities, promote their moral, in- 
tellectual and religious improvement, and fit them for situations 
of usefulness." 

The management of its financial interests is entrusted to a board 
of nine male Trustees ; the appropriation of its income, the care 
and management of its children, and its internal and domestic 
concerns, to a Board of female Managers, consisting of three Di- 
rectresses, a Treasurer, a Corresponding and Recording Secretaries, 
a Provider, and thirty-six Managers, residing at the time of their 
appointment in the City of Auburn and County of Cayuga. 

The first meeting of the ladies, on record, was held May 5th, 1852, 
when the Society was organized, and the Managers elected, as men- 
tioned in Sec. 8 of the Act of Incorporation. 

Since the organization of this Society, a large lot of ground on 
Owasco street has been purchased by the Board of Trustees, and a 
noble and commodious brick building erected, at an expense of 
some 112,000. A monthly paper, entitled " The Orphan's Friend," 
is issued by the Board of Trustees, and has helped materially to 
increase the prosperity of the institution. 

The Home for the Friendless, No. 34 Canal street, was estab- 
lished in 1864, for the relief of aged and respectable j)oor, and is 
supported by voluntary contributions. The house is a good one, 
and has an acre of ground adjoining it. During the year 1865, 
eighteen inmates were received and cared for at the Home. 

The Young Merits Christian Association was organized Oct. 7, 
1859, and re-organized Nov. 14, 1864. It numbers over 150 mem- 
bers, and maintains a reading room, furnished with the leading 



44 CAYUGA COUNTY. 



newspapers of the country, and foreign and domestic literature. 
The Association furnishes a course of lectures during the winter 
season, which are generally well supported by the citizens. 

Beside the above christian and benevolent organizations we may 
mention the Martha Washington Society, formed for the purpose of 
assisting the fomilies of inebriates ; the Samaritan Society, Ladies' 
Bible Society, Ladies' Union Freednien\ Aid Society and others. — 
There are also seven Lodges, F. and A. M., two Temperance Soci- 
eties, and several German benevolent organizations. 

The Merchants Union LJxpress Co?npany was organized and has 
its headquarters in Auburn. It was formed in Sept., 18G0, and has 
-^20,000,000 capital. Its Directors include some of the first and 
wealthiest men of the country, and its patrons are numbered by 
thousands wherever its lines have been extended. The following 
are the present officers : — Elmore P. Ross, President ; Wm. IT. 
Seward, Jr., Vice President ; Wm. C. Beardsly, Treasurer ; J, N. 
Knapp, Secretary ; T. M. Pomeroy, Attorney. 

The JV. Y. Central Railroad. — The grand trunk of this road 
divides at Syracuse and unites again at Rochester. The first line 
built was from Syi-acuse to Auburn ; completed about 1840. The 
Auburn and Rochester R. R. was finished a year or two later, and 
both were consolidated under the name of the Rochester and Syra- 
cuse Railroad, but it is now known as the Auburn Road. It is 104 
miles long and runs through the most beautiful section of the State, 
the principal places on the route being. Auburn Geneva, and Can- 
andaigua. A fine commodious depot, with good convenient offices, 
has been constructed at the former place. We regret that our space 
will not allow us to go more fully into details respecting the vari- 
ous manufactories, etc., which contribute materially to the wealth and 
growth of Auburn. But we must be content with briefly noticing 
a few of the most prominent as follows : — 

Dodge & Stevenson Manufacturing Company, corner of Wash- 
ington Street and N. Y. C. R. R. As a description of these works, 
their capacity and reputation, written by D. D. T. Moore, of the 
Rural New Yorker, would undoubtedly prove far more readable 
and interesting than anything we could write on the subject of 
mowers and reapers, we give his words, which we quote from the 
Rural of March 9th, 1867. He says : 

" While in Auburn, recently, we passed an hour or two in visit- 
ing the head-quarters of the Dodge & Stevenson Manuflicturing 
Co., and were surprised at the extent of the establishment and the 
business it is doing. The Company (of which Col. J. A. Dodge is 
President) has a capital of $250,000 employed in the manufiicture 
of the Dodge Harvester, (Ohio and Buckeye patents, with Dodge's 
Improvements,) a machine which has attained a good and Mide 
reputation. Its popularity is demonstrated by the fact that the 



CAYUGA COUNTY. 45 



Company is making four thousand machines for the coming harvest, 
two thousand of wliich are already completed. The manufacturing 
building, shops, store-houses, &c., are quite extensive, the main one 
being 380 feet long, and most of it four stories, the foundry 45 feet 
by 170 feet, the blacksmith shop 150 feet long, etc. There are 
three store-houses, each about 50 by 150 feet. Two hundred men 
are employed, and the establishment is now finishing about 100 
machines each week. The nuichinery used is very perfect, and each 
part of the Harvester is apparently made with great care. The 
whole establishment is creditable to the Company and its originator 
and manager, Col. Dodge." 

D. M. Osborne db Co., manufacturers of " The Kirby" Mower and 
Harvester, and whose works are situated on corner of Genesee and 
Mechanic streets, are, perhaps, among the largest manufacturers of 
this class of agricultural implements in the world. They occupy a 
h^rge number of extensive buildings, as follows : — No 1 is the 
office, sample room, and store house, QQ> feet by 40 feet, four stories 
and basement. No. 2 is the wood workshop, 59 feet by 48 feet, 
three stories and basement. No. 3 is the store house, packing and 
shipping room, 114 feet by 76 feet, 3 stories and basement. The 
third story of this building is the paint shop. No. 4 is the machine 
shop, 138 feet by 50 feet, three stories high and two basements. — 
No. 5 is the blacksmith shop, 1S8 by 50 feet, one story. No. 6, 
malleable iron works, 113 feet by 90 feet, one story. No. 7, found- 
ry, 192 feet by 06 feet, one story. On the opposite side of Mechanic 
street are the barn, steam drying house and lumber yard, the latter 
containing over 5l'0,000 feet of lumber. In the workshops, each 
room, which is capable of allowing space for from 25 to 50 or 60 
men to work, is allotted to some particular branch of business, and 
each man has his own special operation in which he thus becomes 
skillful and rapid. Each department is under the care and constant 
supervision of a competent foreman, who is responsible for the 
work under his charge, each of them being assisted by the unceas- 
ing and vigilant co-operation of the proprietors, and of Mr. Kirby, 
the inventor of the machine ; and the businesss being thus system- 
atically classified, is conducted with clock-work regularity. 

In 1856, Mr. Kirby, then living in Butialo, invented the Kirby 
Mower and Reaper, of which the distinctive feature was, and has 
ever since been, the independent connection of the frame and bar 
with the drive wheel. In 1858, Mr. Osborne commenced their 
manufacture in Auburn, N. Y., in building No. 1; in 1859, the 
building No. 2 was erected, and from 1860 to 1865, the other por- 
tions of these extensive works were put up as the business increased 
and more room was required. 

In the manufacture of the Kirby Mower and Reaper, there are 
now used, per year, about 3,000,000 pounds of pig iron ; 500,000 



46 CAYUGA COUNTY. 



pounds of bar iron and steel ; 1,100 tons of coal; 400,000 feet of 
lumber. The pay roll is from -$0,000 to $10,000 per month.— 
Over twenty thousand machines have been manufactured at these 
works since 1858, exclusive of the large number of Kirbys made at 
other manufactories. 

In the foundry, a single fire is capable of melting six tons of iron 
per hour; a store-room contains the rough castings until carried to 
the workshops for dressing. The whole of this vast establishment 
is warmed by steam, which is furnished exclusively by burning the 
chips and shavings from the wood work. 

Two years ago they made between five and six thousand ma- 
chines. They have recently much enlarged their buildings, and so 
perfect are their labor-saving appliances, that,, with a full comple- 
ment of hands, or 250, they are capable of turning out a complete 
machine every fourteen minutes, or at the rate of fourteen thous- 
and a year, which they have actually accomplished for a time. 

These machines are now sold in all the Northern and in many of 
the Southern States, and in California, Oregon, Brazil and Austra- 
lia. 

Messrs. D. M. Osborne & Co., have an office and warehouse in 
Chicago, Philadelphia and St. Louis, each of these being under the 
charge of thoroughly practical business men, who have the oversight 
and control of their business in the territorial divisions assigned U) 
each of them. 

Prominent among the manufacturing interests of Auburn, are the 
Mower and Reaper works of the Cayuga Chief Manufacturing Co. 

This Company is composed of citizens of this County, who, having 
seen the increasing popularity of the " Cayuga Cliief^'' both as a 
Mower and a Reaper, and believing in its superiority over all other 
two-wheeled machines, have organized this Company with a capital 
of 8400,000, for the express purpose of supplying the constantly 
increasing demand for these machines. 

Their extensive and substantial buildings are located at the foot 
of McMaster street and adjoining the N. Y. C. R. R. Their spa- 
cious machine shop, three stories high above the basement, filled 
with machinery ; their foundry, one of the most perfect we have 
ever seen ; their forging shop and piles of lumber, tell even to in- 
experienced eyes that their business is one of great magnitude. 

This Company use annually 1000 tons of coal, 2000 tons of iron, 
about half a million feet of lumber, and employ from 150 to 200 
men. The lumber is mainly bought from the fi^irmers of this 
County, and the laborers and their families make a demand for the 
farm products. 

To the question asked, " what is done with the products of these 
shops, and what do they do with their macliines ?" the reply is, 
that wherever in the United States cars run, and farmers till the 



CATUGA COUNTY. 47 



soil, there will be found the " Cayujra Chief," either as a Mower or 
Reaper, winning the good will and recommendations of its OM'ner, 
and making a demand for " more of the same sort" from his neigh- 
bors, thus confirming the statements of its proprietors, that it is the 
most perfect mower ; the most perfect reaper ; the most perfect 
combined two-wheeled machine ever built. 

The large amount of their business enables this Company to em- 
ploy the best inventive and mechanical talent in the country, and to 
perfect and adapt any real improvements in mowing or reaping. — 
During the past year this Company have put into market many 
Self Rakers, which have, by actual test, proved, as we are assured, 
the best ever given to the farmers. 

Hussey (b Co. are also extensive manufacturers of Mowers and 
Reapers. Their shops are located on Mechanic street. The repu- 
tation of the Hussey machine is probably equal to any in market, 
though not so extensively manufactured. Indeed the manufacturers 
claim several points superior to other machines. A more extended 
notice of this Company and their machine may be found in another 
portion of the work. The Steel Tempering works of Messrs. Rey- 
nohh, Barber d; Co., on Mechanic street, are engaged extensively 
in the manufocture of section knives for Mowers and Reapers, and 
the celebrated " clover leaf" plane irons. 

B. B. Snow (& Co. have recently commenced the manufacture of 
Brinkerhoff's Corn Sheller, Separator and Cleaner, a very valuable 
machine, and one destined to attain a very extensive sale. 

The Auburn Agricultural Works., Messrs. Alden & Co., pro- 
prietors, located at No. 27 Water street, are extensively* engaged 
in the manufacture of several kinds of useful Agricultural Imple- 
ments, prominent among which is Alden'' s Patent Thill Horse Hoe, 
selected as the best in the United States, and sent by the Govern- 
ment agent to the Paris Exposition. 

Among the other manufacturing establishments calculated to add 
wealth and prosperity to the city of Auburn, may be mentioned 
that of the Auburn Woolen Co. ; Auburn Paper Manufacturing 
Co., organized in 1849; Oswego Starch Factory, whose works are 
located at Oswego, but the Company's headquarters are at Auburn ; 
E. C. Tuttle Manufacturing Co ; Auburn Tool Co. ; Auburn Gas 
Cun"ipany ; J. M. Hurd db Co., manufacturers of Hurd's Patent 
Paper Elour Sacks. 

There are several plank road routes centering in Auburn, the 
principal of Avhich are the following : Auburn and Aurelius Plank 
Road ; Auburn and Fleming Plank Road ; Auburn and Moravia 
Plank Road ; Auburn and Port Byron Plank Road ; Auburn and 
Owasco Plank Road ; and Auburn and Weedsport Plank Road. 

The Cayuga County Agricultural Society was organized in 1841, 
and re-organized under the new law in 1856. The Society's grounds 



48 CAYUGA COUNTY. 



comprise twenty acres near the west line of the city. There is a 
fine permanent exhibition hall, erected at a cost of $3000, and a 
good half-mile trotting course. 

The city covers an area of 4,5991 acres. 

A JJBELIUS was formed January 27, 1789. Brutus, Owas- 
co, Cato and Jefferson.^ (now Mentz,) were set off March 30, 1802; 
Auburn and Fleming in 1823; a part of Springport in 1833, xind 
j)art of Throop in 1859. It lies near the center of the west border 
of the County, on Cayuga Lake, and has a rolling surface, which in- 
clines to the north and west. Owasco Outlet runs through the 
north-east corner, and Cayuga Brook, Crane Creek, with several 
other small streams, rise in the town. There are a number of ex- 
cellent water privileges along Owasco Outlet. For the most part, 
the soil is a heavy clay and gravelly loam. 

Cayuga [p. v.) is on Cayuga Lake, two miles south of the Outlet, 
and was incorporated in 1858. It is an important station on the 
New York Central Rail Road, and is connected with Ithaca, at the 
head of the lake, by a daily line of steamers. The tourist leaving 
Cayuga for a trip through the lake, is sure of beholding some of 
the most charming scenery afforded by any section of .the State. 
Cayuga contains about 400 inhabitants and 2 churches. The cele- 
brated Cayuga Bridge, one mile and eight rods long, v/as built 
across the lake at this point, in 1797, by Swartwood & Deman, of 
New York, and Joseph Annin and others of Cayuga. It fell in 
1804, was rebuilt in 1812-13, and finally abandoned in 1857. Un- 
til the canal was finished, the road leading across this bridge was 
the grand highway of emigration. The County-seat was located 
here, on the first organization of the County. The Indians here 
made a treaty with the Governor of the State, in 1794, selling their 
reservations, with the exception of four square miles on the shore, 
near Levanna. Foslerville, (p. v.) in the north part, contains a 
church and about a dozen houses. Aurelius, [p. v.)in the south-east 
part, is about the same size. ClarksviUe, on the east line, is a sub- 
urb of Auburn, and is engaged in manufacturing. The Auburn 
Paper Mill, incorporated in 1848, with $40,000 capital, is located 
here, with other important manufactories. It contains about 300 
inhabitants. 

The first settlement was made at Cayuga, in 1788, by John Har- 
ris, of Harrisburg, Penn., who established the first ferry across the 
lake. Wm. Harris and John Richardson, came the same year. — 
The first wedding was that of John Harris and Mary Richardson, 
which took place in 1789; the first birth that of John Harris, Jr., 

in 1790, and the first death that of Depuy, in 1797. The first 

school was taught by Hugh Buekle}^ in 1797; the first inn was 
kept by John Harris, in 1790, who was also the proprietor of the 



CAYUGA COUNTY. 49 



first store in 1789. The census of 18G5 gives the town an area of 
2(>,887 acres. 

BBUTUS was formed from Aurelius, March 30, 1802, and 
Sennett was taken off in 1827. Its location is on the east border 
of the County, north of the center, and its surface is level in the 
north and Avest, with an average elevation of about ten feet above 
the level of Seneca River, which forms its northern boundary. The 
parts lying along the river are quite marshy. Isolated drift hills, 
from 50 to 75 feet above the general level, render the surface in 
the south-east broken and rolling. Bread Creek and Cold Spring 
Brook, both of which are tributary to Seneca River, are the princi- 
pal streams. The former is a canal feeder, and along its course are 
deposits of limestone and plaster, which are quarried to considera- 
ble extent. The soil is a fine quality of sandy and gravelly loam, 
intermixed with clay and alluvium. 

Weedspori (p. v.) was incorporated April 26, 1831, and is on the 
Erie Canal, and the direct line of the New York Central Rail Road. 
It is eight miles north of Auburn, twenty -one miles west of Syra- 
cuse, and sixty east of Rochester. It contains four churches, a bank 
building, union school, a large malt house, foundry, and several 
mills. Population about 1200. 

The first settlement in the present town of Brutus, was made by 
William Stevens, from Mass., in 1800, on the south bounds of the 
corporation of this village. The settlement was called "Macedonia," 
and went by that name till after the Erie Canal was finished, in 
1821, when the subsequent growth of the village was along the 
banks of that great commercial highway. In 1816, this section of 
the canal was commenced, and made navigable as far as Utica, in 
the year 1821. Previous to that, communication east and west was 
had by means of the public roads, which were very bad, until the 
building of the Montezuma Turnpike, by which travel was some- 
what facilitated. Elihu and Edward Weed, sons of Smith Weed, a 
wealthy Albany merchant, settled in the village and built a "Basin" 
on the south bank of the canal, large enough for the mooring and 
turning of boats. They also put up a store-house, and the place 
then became known as Weed's Basin. In 1822, the Weeds adver- 
tised their storage and forwarding business at Wecd''s Basin, adding 
by way of postscript, "A post office has lately been established at 
this place, by the name of Weed'' s Port P. 0., of which Elihu Weed 
is postmaster." 

After the canal was finished, Weedsport became the canal land- 
ing for the city of Auburn, which created a large amount of busi- 
ness for the place in the way of shipping and teaming. Ware- 
houses sprung up, and the little village assumed a thrifty and pros- 
perous appearance. But on the building of the Auburn and Syra- 
cuse Rail Road, in 1840, nearly all of this storage, carrying and

forwarding business, was diverted from the little town, which hav- 
ing depended on this for its existence, seemed destined to go into 
decay. The store-houses, once filled to their utmost capacity, 
stood empty and desolate, and the place looked ruinously forlorn. 
It then fell back on its resources as the natural depot for the pro- 
duce of the surrounding country, and the place of its exchange for 
merchandise and mechanical work. Thus left to its natural arowth, 
it was many years before the empty buildings were re-occupied, 
and new ones erected to accommodate the increasing business of 
the place. Surrounded by a rich agricultural section, its growth 
was increased, although near villages were formidable competitors 
for the country trade, so that in 1840, it had about regained all that 
was lost by the diversion of the Auburn trade in 1840. Since 
that time it has grown steadily, though not rapidly, and is now one 
uf the best market towns in that section of the State. Its exten- 
sive store-houses, large dry goods establishments, and elevators 
along the canal, are conclusive proof of its prosperity. The Weeds- 
port Union School was established about 1846, by the consolida^ 
tion of several districts. The school building is a substantial brick 
edifice, containing four departments, each under a separate teacher. 
The course of instruction is ample, and the attendance full. A 
weekly newspaper, fitly representing the interests of the town, is 
published here. The Town Fair Ground, with a half-mile trotting 
course, is in the village. The location is healthy, and the climate 
salubrious. 

As before mentioned, the first settlement in the town of Brutus 
was made by Wm. Stevens, from Mass., in 1800, and among other 
early settlers, were Caleb, Nathan and Jonah Rood, and Pow- 
ers, from Saratoga County, who located at and near Weedsport ; 
John Hamilton, from Washington County, who settled on Lot No. 
64, in March, 1803 ; Edward Horton, Peter Douglass and Samuel 
Moore, from New Jersey, on Lot 86 ; Adam Helmer, from Her- 
kimer County, on Lot 67, in 1804, and Van Dyck.and Daniel 

Miller, from New Jersey, on Lot 76, in 1805. The first birth was 
that of Burnett Stevens, Nov. 13, 1801 ; the first marriage that of 
Peter Douglass and Polly Plamilton, January 12, 1804, and the 
first death that of aninfent child of Sunderland Sweet, in 1800. — 
Harriet Phelps taught the first school, in 1806; Walter and Elihu 
Weed kept the first store, and Lewis Putnam built the first saw 
mill and grist mill on Bread Creek. 

The census of 1865 gives the town an area of 12,356 acres. 

C^ TO was formed from A ureli us, March 80, 1802; Sterling 
was taken otfin 1812, and Conquest, Ira and Victory in 1821. A 
part of Ira was annexed in 1834. It lies on the east border of the 
County, north of the centre, and its surface is level in the south, 
and rolling in the north. The ridges run north and south and rise 



CAYUGA COUNTY. 51 



about 50 feet above the valleys, and 150 to 200 feet above Lake 
Ontario. Seneca River forms the south boundary. Cross Lake, 
on the east border, is a shallow sheet (jf water about 5 miles long. 
Seneca River flows through it. Otter Lake and Parker's Pond, in 
the north part, discharge their waters through Otter Creek into 
Seneca River. The soil is a sandy and gravelly loam mixed with 
clay and disintergrated red shale. 

Meridian, [p. v.) formerly " Cato Four Corners," in the north 
part, was incorporated Oct. 17, 1854. It has about 400 inhabi- 
tarts. Caio, [p. v.) on the line of Ira, in the north-west corner, 
contains 3 churches and about 50 dwellings. Seneca River is a 
post office. 

Samson Lawrence, who settled on lot 32, in 1800, was the first 
settler. Among the early settlers were Solomon Knapp, on 
lot 100, L. Sheldon on lot 84, Jacob Labertaux, from Penn., on 
lot 57, in INIay, 1803 ; Jesse Elwell and Abner Ilollister, at Merid- 
ian, in 1805. The first child born was Alvira Stockwell, May 4, 
1805; the first mari'iage was that of Andrew Stockwell and Sybil 
Root, in June 4, 1804; the first death that of Stephen Olcott, in 
1805. Solomon Knapp kept the first inn at Cato, in 1803 ; and 
Jesse Elwell the first at Meridian, in 1805. Daniel M. Bristol 
kept the first store in 1806, and Samuel Woodford built the first 
grist mill, on the outlet of Otter Lake, in 1811, The first church 
(Baptist) was fin-med Oct. 26, 1810, Rev. Daniel Palmer being 
the first pastor. 

The census of 1865 cives the town an area of 10,702 acres. 

CONQUEST was formed from Cato March 16, 1821, and 
took its name in commemoration of the victory achieved by those 
who favored a division of the town of Cato, over those who opposed 
it. It is situated on the west border of the county, north of the 
centre. The surface is rolling with north and south ridges. Along 
the Seneca River, in the south part, the land is marshy, and along 
the small stream which flows through Mud Pond, is a swamp, a 
quarter of a mile wide, extending north and south. Duck Pond, in 
the north-west, is about a mile in diameter. Ilowland's Island, in 
Seneca River, contains 2700 acres, one third of which is swampy 
and submerged during high water. The soil consists of a sandy 
loam, intermixed with clay, with underlying red shale. 

Conquest Centre, (^Conquest p. o.) contains 2 churches and about 
20 houses ; Pinevllle, in the west part, is a hamlet. 

George Snyder, from Schoharie County, and Israel Wolverton. 
from Tompkins County, were the first settlers. Both settled in 
the year 1800, the former on lot 37, the latter on lot 4. Other early 
settlers were James Perkins, from Onondaga County, on lot 3, 
Ephraim Witherill, from Tompkins County, on lot 4, Theophilus 
Emerson, on lot 27, and Clement B. Emerson, on lot 15, in 1802 ; 



53 CAYUGA COUNTY. 



Dijar Wilcox, from Saratogci County, on lot 74 ; Wni. McCollum 
and John Crowell, from Newburgh, on lot 7(5, in 1805 ; and Wm. 
Crowell, on lot 77, in 1807. The first child born was Amos Wol- 
verton, in 1803; the first marriage that of Gilbert Perkins and 
Betsy Snyder, and the first de.iAth that of a traveler and stranger, at 
Mosquito Point. The first school was taught by John Perkins, at 
Conquest Centre, in 1807 ; Ephraiin Witherill kept the first inn, in 
1803 ; Jonathan Davis the first store, at Conquest Centre, in 1827 ; 

Twitchell erected the first saw mill, in 1808 ; and Abrana 

Cherry the first grist mill, in 1810. This was long known as the 
" Pepper Mill," from the fact that at first a store was kept in it. — 
The settlers joined forces and made a large canoe, capable of hold- 
ing 60 bushels of grain, and in this the grists of the entire neighboi*- 
hood were carried to Springport, by way of Seneca River, there to 
be ground. It took four days to make the journey. In 1813, 
John Filkins took a load of wheat to Albany, and was obliged to 
sell the wheat and one horse to defray the expenses of the journey. 
In 180-4, James Perkins built the first frame house, sawing out all 
the lumber with a whip saw. The building is still standing, if we 
are rightly informed, a fit monument to the persevering industry 
which characterized the pioneers. The first church (Prot. Meth.) 
was formed at Conquest Centre, in 1803, Rev. Joshua Beebe being 
the first settled pastor. 

The census of 18(5.5 gives the town an area of 20, .529 acres. 

FLBBIING was taken from Aurelius, March 28, 1823, and 
named after Gen. George Fleming, an old resident. It lies south 
of the center of the County, and west of the foot of Ovvasco Lake. 
It has a rolling surface, inclining toward the north and east. The- 
slope of the lake banks continues upward about three-fourths of a 
mile. The highest parts of the town are 150 to 250 feet above the 
lake, and 800 to 1000 feet above tide. Crane and Wheeler Creeks 
are the main streams. The soil is chiefly a gravell}' loam, with 
occasional intermixture of clay and sand. 

Fleming.! [p. v.) near the central part, is a small village. Owas- 
co Lake is a post office. 

The first settlements were made in 1790-91. Among 
the early settlers were Benjamin Irish, Joseph Grover, Ed- 
ward Wheeler, Ichabod and Abel W^ilkinson, and James Har- 
rington. The first birth was that of Aurelius Wheeler, in 1791, and 
the first death that of Mrs West, in 1792. John Herring taught 
the first school, in 1794; Abel W^ilkiiison, kept the first inn, in 
1792; and Joseph Grover kept the first store in 1797. The first 
religious services were held by Elder Daniel Irish, (Baptist,) about 
the year 1794. 

The census of 18G5 gives the town an area of 12,935 acres. 



CAYUGA COUNTY. 53 



CrEHOA township is the central portion of what was originally 
organized as " Milton," January 27, 1789, ten years prior to the 
formation of Cayuga County. 

The population of Milton in 1800 was 3,553. Locke was taken 
off in 1802; the name changed April 6, 1808, to " Genoa," and in 
1810, with its limits reduced by a township, the population was 
5,425. In 1820, after giving off territory on the north and on the 
south, reducing the town to its present boundary, the population 
was 2,585, being 223 more than the census returns of 1865, forty- 
five years intervening. 

Genoa lies in the south-west corner of the County, is 4 miles 
across in latitude, and 10 miles long. Cayuga Lake is- the western 
boundary. The land along the shore rising rather abruptly a mile 
inland, abounds in deep ravines, sporting slender streams, whirling 
and eddying over the shale rock, of which the base of the soil is 
formed. From thence to the summit ridge, the rolling surface 
rises gradually to an elevation of 600 feet above the lake, the soil a 
rich clay loam, forming pleasant situations and beautiful landscapes. 

From the summit ridge still eastward, the declivities appear in 
rapid succession, often abruptly, 50 to 150 feet, to Little Salmon 
Creek. The east branch, Big Salmon, is divided from the west 
branch by beautifully rolling lands, extensively known as the "Indian 
Fields," the site of an Indian village. The eastern part of the town 
may be regarded as the third undulating swell of land, still rising 
from the Lake ; the soil predominating to a rich,, friable, sandy 
loam. 

Genoa, (p. v.) on Big Salmon Creek, contains 2 churches, 2 flour- 
ing mills, an extensive furnace and machine shop, 1 hotel, a village 
school and several stores; population 285. Northville, (King's 
Ferry p. o.) 4 J miles west of Genoa, in the north-west part of the 
town, has 2 churches, 1 hotel, 1 school, several stores, and a vigor- 
ous grain and country produce trade; population 2C0. Five Cor- 
ners {]). V.) contains a church, a school and about 35 dwellings. — 
Fast Genoa and Little Holloio are hamlets. The town has two 
landings on the Lake, King's Ferry and Atwater's. 

The pioneer history of Genoa has been almost wholly left to 
pass away with the heroic fathers and mothers, whose memory 
alone is the stereotype whence we might print, were they still ac- 
cessible, interesting and reliable sketches, now gone forever. The 
following notes of the first settlers have been carefully sifted out of 
the traditions obtained from more than a score of the " oldest in- 
habitants" now living in the town. All of them are sons and 
daughters of honored pioneer settlers ; several were youthful wit- 
nesses of the "first ground broken," in their respective parts of the 
town. John Clark, from Washington County, N. Y., was the first 
settler, within the j^resewHimits of the town, in 1790; Ebenezer

Hopkins tind Joseph Hadley settled over in what is now Lansing 
iu the same year ; also Peres-, Gilbert, Thurston and Jonathan 
Brownell, and Thomas Manchester, settled north of the present 
town line, (now Ledyard,) in 1790. El>in Guthrie, John King, 
Nathaniel Walker and others, eam-e frotn the Wyoming valley in 
1791. David King had first com* to Springport in 1790, where 
David King, Jr., was born, Dec. 16, 1790', the first white child 
born in the "Settlements." The nex-t yea^r, (1791,) Gov^ George 
Clinton ordered the " squatters" all driven off the Springport Res- 
ervation, by a Sheriff' and posse of 50 men. King and some 12 or 
13 other fomilies were turned adriftjaiad their houses burned. Sev- 
eral of them settled over in Genoa; Kii>g early in the fall of 1791. 
Samuel Clark eaiiie on to " Indian Fielels," over in Veniee, and his 
son William was one of theifirst on the " Fields," in Genoa. Wm. 
Clark came from Washington County, N. Y., early in the spring of 
1792; Wm. Miller Clark. at the same time; Daniel Heath also. 
John Kelsey and his son Ansel, from Susquehanna, came as early as 
1791, and bought 20U acres where the Presbyterian church in 
Genoa village now stands. Gamaliel Terry ,-a soldier in the Revo- 
luition, came in 1792, from Salisbury, Conn. Capt. Roger Moore, 
W;ho was taken prisoner in the war of the Revolution, and sent to 
England with Col. Etliadi Allen, came in 1793,and drew two military 
lots; five sons and two daughters came with him. Benjamin Close, 
Joluu Moe, JonathanMead, John Weeks and Danitel Wilson, came in 
the same year, (1793.;) The years 1790-1-2 and 3, bad brought 
twelire families into the town. Benjamin Close opened his house 
for public worship in 1793, and probably the first PresbyteriUn 
church of the town wae organized soon after, at Northville. 

In 1794 there were 34 families in the town. Jabez Bradley, the 
first settler at Northville, had come from Lee, Berkshire County, 
Mass. in the month of February, 1794 ; and Dan. Bradley was born 
to him May 1 , 1794. Dan was the first male child born' in the town. 
Heman Bradley, Einathan Close, Israel Mead and Samuel Wilson 
came the same year. Paul Barger and Wm. Jessup, from Eng- 
land, Hendersons, Armstrongs, Smiths, Tidds, Barneses, Thorps, 
Lyons, Woods, Palmers, Wilsons, Bothwells and others, came in 
from 1794 to 1800. Genoa at the present date contains 7 churches 
and 13 schools. 

The census of 1865 gives the town an area of 24,323 acres. 

JjR^ was formed from Cato, March 10, 1821, and a part re- 
annexed to that town in 1824. It is located on the east border of 
the county, north of the centre. The streams are creeks and small 
brooks, and the surfiice is rolling, the summits of the ridges rising 
70 to 75 feet above the valleys, and 22f' to 275 feet above the level 
of Lake Ontario. Red sandstone underlies the soil, which is a very 
productive sandy loam. 



CAYUGA COUNTY. 55 



Ira Centre, (Ira p. o.) the only village, contains 2 churches and 
about 130 inhabitants. 

The first settlements were made by David, Eleazur and Andrew 
Stockwell, three brothers, from Whitehall, who settled on lot 58 ; 
Wm. Patterson, on lot 32, and Henry Conrad, (a German,) on the 
same lot, all in 1805. Among others who were early settled in this 
town we may mention Daniel Parker, on lot 09, John C. Barnes 
and Rev. Silas Barnes, on lot 70, and Zadoc Barnes, on lot 83, all 
from Marcellus, and Edward Wood from Sennett, on lot 89, in 
1802; Archibald and Charles Green, on lot 70, in 1803 ; Eli Matti- 
son and Abraham Willey, from Connecticut, on lot 34 ; Henry 
Ferris and his son Augustus, from Saratoga County, on lot 71, in 
1804 ; and Thomas Barnes, from Washington County, at Ira Corners, 
in ]805. Dr. Squire, the first physician, taught the first school, in 
1805 ; David Stockwell kept the first inn, in 1800 ; Samuel and 
Israel Phelps the first store, at Ira Corners, in 1813, and John 
Hooker erected the first grist mill, in 1818. The first child born 
was Polly, daughter of David Stockwell, in April 1802; the. first 
marnaije was that of Eleazur Stockwell and Mariraret Noble, March 
7, 1802, and the first death that of the wife of Rev. Silas Barnes, in 
1802. The first church (Cong.)was formed at Ira Corners, July 7, 
1807, by Rev. Francis Porneroy. Rev. Silas Barnes was the first 
preacher. 

The census of 1805 gives the town an area of 21,902 acres. 

LED Y AMD was formed from Scipio Jan. 30, 1823, and was 
named after Benjamin Ledyard, agent and clerk for the apportion- 
ment of lands in the Military Tract. It lies on the east bank of 
Cayuga Lake, south-M'cst of the centre of the County. The surface 
inclines toward the west, its extreme east border being elevated 
500 to GOO feet above the lake level. Generally the hill slopes are 
gradual, and the streams are small, rapid brooks, the principal one 
being Paine's Creek, which flows through a narrow ravine in the 
south part. The soil is very fertile, being a sandy and clayey 
loam. 

Aurora, [p. v.) on the east bank of Cayuga Lake, was incorpora- 
ted May 5, 18S7, and is beautifully situated, and commands a view of 
the most picturesque portions of the lake, which here widens out to 
about four miles. Among all the villages in this section of the 
State which are widely celebrated for their beauty, there is nothing 
to surpass the little village of Aurora. It contains some of the most 
elegant country residences west of the Hudson, and all that taste 
and wealth, aided by the lavish hand of Nature, can do to beautify 
the place, has been done. With its charming bay, beautiful walks 
and drives, splendid mansions and cultivated society, we know of 
no more delightful retreat in the whole circle of States. Here be- 
gan the first settlement in Cayuga County, and around it, as a 



56 CAYUGA COUNTY. 



charmed spot, the best influences of civilization have lingered and 
lavished their countless blessings. In 1789, a number ot persons 
organized what was called the Little Lessee Company, and leased 
of the Indians the lands between the Cayuga and Owasco for a pe- 
riod of nine hundred and ninety-nine years. The same year, four 
members of the Company, living in Wysox, Penn., visited the tract 
and surveyed it into lots of one hundred and sixty acres each, and 
also raised some corn and vegetables, which they buried where 
Aurora now stands. In March, 1790, Capt. Roswell Franklin, 

White, Elisha Durkee and Deacon Atw ell, left Wysox, with 

their families, in sleighs, to make a permanent settlement in the 
wilderness of Central New York. They ascended the Susquehanna 
on the ice, as far as was practicable, and then made their way 
across the country to Newtown, now Elmira. From this place 
their route lay to the head of Seneca Lake, and the journey was 
long and laboi'ious. The cold was intense, rocks and thick forests 
blocked their way, torrents were to be crossed whose angry waters 
threatened to sweep them to destruction ; but unflinching resolution 
conquered every obstacle, and the party reached the head of Seneca 
Lake, where they encamped several days for rest from their priva- 
tions. At the head of the lake they found a boat, abandoned by 
Sullivan's expedition eleven years previous. This they repaired, 
and as soon as the weather became favorable, set sail, leaving one 
or two young men to drive the team and a few domestic animals. 
They sailed down the lake without difficulty, and thought their 
hardships almost at an end; but in this they were disappointed. — 
At the rapids of Seneca River, where now stands the village of Sen- 
eca Falls, they were obliged to unload half of their cargo and then 
return for the remainder. Only those necessary to manage the 
boat ventured to proceed down the rapids in her, the women and 
children making their way on foot. The men unloaded the boat 
and returned to make the second trip, wading a part of the way up 
to the waist in the cold water, in order to get the boat up stream. 
When they reached the head of the rapids, night came on, and they 
were obliged to stay there, leaving the women and children below, 
alone. The latter, meanwhile, aware of the dangers of the falls, 
supposed that the current had dashed the frail craft against the rocks, 
sacrificing all her precious freight. A storm came up, adding to 
the terror of their situation, and they wandered up and down the 
river bemoaning their sad condition, till the foiling snow compelled 
them to gather around a little fire. But in the morning, to their great 
joy, the boat arrived safely, and took the weary company onboard. 
On reaching Cayuga Lake, they found it full of ice, and were obliged 
to cut a passage for the boat. It took several daj^s, in this labori- 
ous manner, to make a distance of five miles. They encamped on 
the shore, and one morning when they awoke, they found the ice 



CAYUGA COUNTY. 57 



had all disappeared, having been swept away by a south wind. — 
Having now a clear sea, Capt. Franklin and his party soon con- 
cluded their long and perilous journey. They landed at Aurora 
early in April, and there formed a permanent settlement. The 
provisions buried the previous autumn were found undisturbed and 
in good condition, and these formed a seasonable supply of food. — 
Their first care was to erect temporary dwellings for their families, 
and Mr. Edward Paine, Jr., whose lather came on in the early part 
of summer, says that Stephen Franklin and himself nestled in a 
cabin of their own building, four feet by six, and made of long 
shingles. 

On his way to the Lake country, Capt. Franklin stored a quan- 
tity of grain at Tioga Point, and also deposited there a barrel of 
pork and another of flour. Soon after the company arrived at Au- 
rora, Capt. Franklin's son Roswell, and Wm. White, returned for 
these provisions. On arriving at the Point, however, they found 
the pork and flour had been eaten up, or otherwise disposed of, and 
the mill burned, with the grain stored in it. They then proceeded 
down the Susquehanna to Wysox, where they procured a small 
quantity of rye, threshed and ground it, and returned to Aurora, 
where the little colony had been five weeks without bread. To- 
ward autumn, the condition of the settlers materially improved ; 
some of the Indians brought fish and game which they exchanged 
for such articles as the settlers could spare ; the forest furnished 
an abundance of berries, and a goodly supply of Indian plums, and 
apples was obtained^ 

In new settlements at that day, iron was better than gold, and 
our pioneers were fortunate in i^rocuring a supply of that article. 
Hatchets, knives, arrow-heads, and gun barrels of the best French 
manufacture, were found and made to serve their purpose. 

Among the pioneers who came to Aurora, in 1791, was Seth 
Phelps, an insolvent merchant, who brought with him little more 
than a barrel of rum. Capt. Franklin, who, after much hardship, 
seems to have been enjoying the favors of fortune, received him 
kindly, supplied him, in his poverty, with a team and utensils, and 
when Phelps bi-ought on his family, generously took them into his 
own house, where they lived through the summer, free of all ex- 
pense. Franklin and his company, on emigrating from Pennsyl- 
vania, expected to lease the land from the Indians, who then pos- 
sessed it; but in this they were disappointed. With the exception 
of a tract about fifty miles square, of reserved territory, the Indian 
title to the military tract was extinguished by the Albany treaty of 
1788-89. The principal reservations lay on both sides of Cayuga 
Lake, extending back four miles from either shore, and from Auro- 
ra north to Montezuma Salt Springs. When the Military Tract 
was surveyed out, Capt. Franklin's house and half of his improve- 



58 CAYUGA COUNTY. 



ments were found to be on the Eeservation. This was through no 
lack of care on his part, but the Indians claim that fifteen or twenty 
other families had purposely settled on their reserved lands, and 
Governor Clinton issued a proclamation directing the intruders to 
withdraw from the Reservation. • As they paid no attention, he 
sent a body of troops to enforce it, and they did the work thorough- 
ly, burning every house but one, throwing the families on the chari- 
ty of their friends. Capt. Franklin's dwelling being near the line, 
his request that the sheriff would allow him to remain till spring, 
and see if he could not satisfy the Indians, was granted. Meantime 
he set about securing the title to the lot adjoining the reservation, 
on which his improvements had been made. Neither he nor PhelDS 
were able to pay for it, but the latter agreed to go east and see if 
he could raise the money to make the purchase for himself and his 
friend. Beauschaten, a Revolutionary soldier, owned the six hun- 
dred and forty acres on which Aurora now stands, and he named 
$600 as his price for it. A. Mr. Walworth, by Phelps' request, ad- 
vanced the amount for half of the lot, and for a trifling considera- 
tion in addition, gave to Phelps the remaining half, thus disposses- 
sing Capt. Franklin entirely. This act of ingratitude caused the 
death of Capt. Franklin, who now growing old and infirm, met this 
great misfortune as the climax to a life of sorrow, and believed 
himself forsaken by God and man. He sank into a forlorn and 
pitiable frame of mind, and although closely watched by his friends, 
shot himself, near his dwelling. He had previously attempted to 
hang himself by fastening a rope to a limb of a tree, and leaping 
from a bluff. In the last fiital attempt, he placed the muzzle of his 
gun to his ear, and discharged it by means of a stick. Thus died 
the first settler in Cayuga County, a man in every way Avorthy of 
esteem and veneration. Phelps gave his widow a deed of two 
acres of ground adjoining the Reservation, including a portion of 
the improvements made by her husband. 

Aurora was the first county seat of Onondaga County, and in 
1799, when Cayuga County was organized, the Court of Common 
Pleas was held at Cayuga Ferry ; but in 1804 the county seat was 
moved back to Aurora, and here the first Court House was erected. 
It was made of half a dozen posts set in the ground, with poles rest- 
ing on them, covered with brush. The first house in Cayuga Co. 
was erected here by Capt. Franklin, and every settler within a 
distance of fifty miles, assisted in the undertaking. They numbered 
thirteen, and were assisted by several Indians. The house was lo- 
cated a little north of the old residence of Jonathan Richmond, and 
was abont 14 feet square. Jonathan Richmond settled in Aurora in 
1791, Walter Wood in 1794, Eleazer Burnham in 1799, and Chris. 
Morgan in 1800. The Cayuga Academy was founded in 1799, though 
not chartered and built till 1801. Under the direction of Salem 



CAYUOA COUNTY. 59 



Town, this Academy afterward became the pride of the place, and 
was one of the principal institutions of learning in Western New 
York. It still maintains a high rank among the schools of the 
State. In 1798, Mr. Morgan opened his store, which, passing into 
possession of his sons, at his death, has been by them conducted 
till the present time. It is the oldest mercantile house west of the 
Hudson. In 1803, an old Indian, named John, murdered Mr. Crane, 
one of the oldest settlers of Seneca County, and, after a hard strug- 
gle, was captured and had his trial at Aurora, in 1804, before 
Judge Tompkins. He was sentenced to be hung. The sentence 
was carried into execution, notwithstanding his desire to be shot, 
and his skeleton is now in possession of a resident of Aurora. This 
was the first case of capital punishment in Cayuga County. In 
1797, the F. and A. M. formed an organization, and in 1819 they 
erected a fine lodge building. In 1817, Roswell Towsley built a 
mill in the village, and the same year the first church was built. — 
About 1822, the first steamer commenced its trips on Cayuga Lake, 
adding new life and vigor to the place. Millard Fillmore received 
his education in Aurora, and there commenced the study of law, 
with Judge Walter Wood. The village has had the honor of being 
the residence of such men as Salem Town, Palmer, the sculptor, and 
is now the home of Henry Wells, Esq., the founder of the Express 
business, and President of the American Express Co., Wells & 
Fargo's Express, and Wells & Butterfield's Express ; Hon. E. B. 
Morgan, and Dr. Alexander Thompson, a name well known to the 
horticulturists of New York. 

"Wells Seminary," the gift of Henry Wells, Esq., to the cause 
of Female education, is now being built on a beautiful spot in the 
south part of the village, on a lot adjoining " Glen Park," the ele- 
gant residence of Mr. Wells. The building was commenced in 
April, 1866, and will be completed in the summer of 1868, and 
opened in the fall of that year. It is built in the Norman style of 
architecture, with tucked joints, fourteen gables and two towers. 
The entrance is through a fine portico, with grained arches, and the 
students' rooms, parlors, etc., are large and convenient. A fine 
view of the bay and lake may be had from nearly every window in 
the building. In referring to this benevolent enterprise of Mr. 
Wells, we cannot refrain from giving our readers the following ac- 
count of the laying of the corner stone, which we find in the Roches- 
ter Democrat of July 21, 1866 :— 

"The village of Aurora, (which was incorporated in 1837,) is 
situated on the east bank of Cayuga Lake, contains some of the 
finest residences and grounds in the central portion of the State, 
and on account of its comparatively mild climate has become a 
place of considerable resort for invalids and men of leisure. Here, 
for the last fifteen years, has been the residence of Henry Wells, fa-

miliar to the country as household worlds, from his position as 
President of the great American Express Company. Kich in this 
world's goods, with a heart filled with generous impulses, and a 
sagacity which ever directs those impulses to act where humanity 
will be blessed, he has long cherished the idea of founding an insti- 
tution where females could receive an education suited to their na- 
tures, and to the sphere in which they are destined to move. He 
has accordingly given a delightful site overlooking the lake, and 
separated from his own splendid residence by one of those wild but 
beautiful ravines with which the landscape on either side of this 
lake is so regularly indented, and commenced and carried to com- 
pletion the first or basement story of a building for this purpose, 
which is to be built in the Norman style of architecture, 110 by 
135 feet, and two stories high, besides the basement, on a plan 
drawn by S. B. Mandelle, who also superintends the building. The 
estimated cost is from seventy-five to one hundred thousand dollars. 

"The corner stone of this noble structure was laid on Thursday 
the 19th inst., with simple but impressive ceremonies. 

"At the hour appointed Mr. James H. Wells made the following 
announcement : 

"Friends and neighbors! In conformity witli tlie wishes of Mr. Henry 
Wells, the pleasant duty of laying the corner stone of the Wells Seminary, with 
a few apj^ropriate ceremonies, will now be performed. The order will be as 
follows : 

" 1st. Prayer by the Rev. Dr. Hopkins, of Auburn. 

" 2d. Founder's Address, read, at the request of Mr. Wells, by the Rev. W. 
W. Howard. 

"od. Laying of the corner stone by Mr. Wells, assisted by his son Charles. 

" 4th. Responding Address by W. H. Bogart. 

" 5th. Doxology. 

" 6th. Benediction. 

" In accordance with the above programme. Dr. Hopkins offered 
prayer, and the Rev. W. W. Howard proceeded to read an address, 
in which Mr. Wells set forth his views in regard to female educa- 
tion, and the object he had in view when he resolved upon and 
commenced the present undertaking. 

"After the close of the address, a copper bo.x was produced, in 
which Mr. Charles Wells placed a piece of the first log cabin built 
in Aurora, and a piece of the stump on which the owner pounded 
the corn for his family's bread. This cabin — the first in Cayuga, 
or in several adjoining counties, was erected in Oct, 1789, by Ros- 
well Franklin. At the raising there were twelve white men ; that 
being all that then resided within fifty miles. The stump was an 
oak one, and stood beside the cabin. These relies of a former day 
were presented to Col. E. D. Morgan almost fifty years ago by 
Mr. Franklin for preservation. Then followed a perfect set of the 
coins of the United States; two Confederate notes; a copy of the 
Rise and Progress of the Express System of the United States, a 



CATUGA COUNTY. 61 



pamphlet by Mr. Wells, and a copy of the Rochester Daily Demo- 
crat of that mornino; ; when'the box was sealed, deposited in its re- 
ceptacle, and the corner stone swunfj to its place. With the tap, 
tap, of the silver trowel from the hand of Mr. Wells and a favored 
daughter, and the following words of dedication from the former, 
the ceremony was completed : 

"Friends : this building, the corner stone of whicli I have just laid, I dedicate 
with its surroundings to the cause of female education ; trusting that, •with 
Heaven's blessing, it may long continue an ornament to your village and a bene- 
tit to our country. 

"Responding Address. — Secretary Seward, who feels a deep in- 
terest in the success of this institution, had given some encourage- 
ment that he would honor the occasion with his presence and de- 
liver the responding address, but the present position of public af- 
fairs requiring his presence in Washington, he had written to be 
excused, and Wm. H. Bogart was selected to fill his place. A bet- 
ter selection could not have been made. A gentleman, a fine 
scholar, a writer of note, and a splendid orator, much was expected 
of him, and none who listened to his address were disappointed. — 
For an impromptu effort we have seldom heard it equalled — never 
excelled. 

"At its conclusion the audience joined in the long meter doxolo- 
gy, ' Praise God from whom all blessings flow,' &c. 

" The benediction was pronounced in an impressive manner by 
the venerable Dr. Wisner, of Ithaca, a ' Father in Israel,' who al- 
though he has numbered his eighty-five years, carries in his re- 
markably vigorous frame a youthful heart, warmly sympathizing 
with every well directed effort to bless mankind." 

TalcotCs Corners., (^Ledyard p. o.) near the south-east corner, 
contains 2 churches and about a dozen dwellings. Levanna [p. v.) 
is a steamboat landing, two miles north of Aurora. 

Joshua Patrick kept the first inn, at Aurora, in 1793 ; Betsy 
Durkee was the first child born in the town. T. Wheeler built the 
first mill, a little north of Aurora. 

The census of 18(55 gives the town an area of 20,422 acres. 

LOCKE was formed from "Milton,'''' (now Genoa,) February 
20, 1802; Summer Hill was set off in 1831. It lies in the south 
part of the County, on the high ridges bordering on Owasco Inlet, 
which flows through it near the center, in a narrow valley, border- 
ed by hills ranging from 200 to 400 feet above its level. The sum- 
mits widen out into a beautiful, undulating region, with a mean ele- 
vation of 1000 feet above tide. The soil consists of a gravelly loam 
interspersed with clay. 

Milan, [Locke p. o.) on the south branch of Owasco Inlet, near 
the center of the town, is a smart little village, containing several 
stores and mechanic shops. Centreville is a hamlet. 



62 CATUOA COUNTY. 



Ezra Carpenter, James Cook James Durell and Solomon Love, 
made the first settlement, in 1790, A daughter of James Durell 
was the first child born. The first store was kept at Milan, by 
Aaron Kellogg; James Cook, was the first inn-keeper ; Mr. Durell 
erected the first grist mill, and Lyman Brown the first factory, in 
1810. The first church (M. E.) was organized in 1819. Traces of 
an Indian burying ground are still visible, covering about two 
acres of ground, between two deep gulfs, half a mile west of Milan. 
The graves are distributed in rows east and west. This is one of 
the very few relics of the aborigines extant in this historic region. 

The census of 1865 gives the town an area of 14,515 acres. 

3IENTZ V'^as formed from Aurelius, as " Jeflerson," March 
30, 1802, and its name was changed April 6, 1808. Montezuma 
and a partof Throop were taken off in 1859. The town lies north- 
west of the center of the County, on the Seneca River, and its sur- 
face is generally flat, with a few low sand ridges near the south 
border. A swampy region borders on the river. Owasco Outlet 
is the principal stream, and flows through the center. Red shale, 
gypsum and lime stone, constitute the underlying rocks. The soil 
is a clayey, sandy and gravelly loam. 

Port Byron, [p. v.) is near the center of the town, on the Owasco 
Outlet and Erie Canal, one mile south of the New York Central 
Rail Road Station, and seven miles north of Auburn, with which it 
is connected by stage. It is situated in a vallfey, on whose sur- 
rounding hills some of the primitive forests are yet standing. It 
occupies the greater partof Lot 73, in the former township of Au- 
relius, that lot having been the purchase of two brothers, Aholiab 
and Elijah Buck, who settled on it in 1798. Among other early 
settlers were Philip King and Seth Higby, from Saratoga county, 
on lot 72, and Josiah Patridge, from Massachusetts, on lot 73, in 
1797 ; Daniel Loveland, from Vermont, on lot 49, in 1799 ; Peter 
Rausier and Moses Lent, from Owego, on lot 02, in 1800; James 
Dixon, Joseph Hamilton and Ira Hopkins, from Washington 
County, and Caleb Hopkins, from New Jersey, on lot 85, from 
1800 to 1804. 

The chief natural advantage of lot 73, now Port Byron, was the 
excellent water power aflbrded by Owasco Outlet, which is a nev- 
er failing stream, and hei-e, in its course through this lot, has a fall 
of from ten to fifteen feet, constituting the only water power in the 
village. This valuable water privilege was soon transferred by 
the Buck brothers to one Aikin, on condition that he should erect 
a mill thereon. The condition was fulfilled, and the mill duly 
put in operation, whereupon a thriving settlement was rapidly 
formed under the name of Bucksville. 

The Erie Canal was built about the year 1815, and its course 
was directly through this lot, from east to west. This was con- 



CATUGA COUNTY. 63 



sidered a grand enterprise, and such indeed it was, and it gaMe a 
new impetus to the thriving little town of Bucksville, as it did to 
many others along its course. The village soon became one of the 
best grain markets in that section of the State. Storage and for- 
warding houses, dry goods stores, groceries and mills, soon sprung 
up, and the population began to increase. In 1825 the name of the 
place was changed to Port Byron, and a village charter was grant- 
ed it, under that name, March 2, 1837. Churches and school 
houses were put up, and the population increased to some 1500. 

In 1828, Mr. Beach settled in the place, purchased the water pow- 
er on the Outlet, and built a raceway, two miles in length, thereby 
securing a head of twenty feet, Mr. Beach put up a mill with ten 
run of stone, capable of manufacturing five hundred barrels of flour 
per day. This was at that time, and for a number of years there- 
after, the largest and best constructed flouring mill in the State. — 
The building was 120 feet long, fifty wide, with a store-house at- 
tached, 80 by 40 feet, and an overshot wheel 22 feet in diameter. 
It was situated on the west side of the Outlet, and on the south 
bank of the Canal, and had a branch canal under a portion of the 
store-house, which afforded great facilities for loading and unload- 
ing boats. The building cost $60,000, and employed 20 to 30 
hands. A cooper shop, built of stone, 200 feet long, was con- 
nected with it, and supplied a part of the barrels used by the mill. 
The employment which this enterprise furnished, and the trafl^c it 
built up, was of great importance to the prosperity of the village. 
In 1833 the place contained 3 churches, 9 dry goods stores and 4 
taverns. 

The direct line of the Central Railroad from Syracuse to Roch- 
ester, was built in 1851, and operated detrimentally to the interests 
of the place by dividing its trade with other towns along the route, 
and carrying much of it to Syracuse. About 1856 the enlargement 
of the Erie Canal was determined on. A part of the inhabitants of 
Port Byron advocated enlargement on the existing line, while oth- 
ers insisted that it ought to take a new route through another 
portion of the village. The latter were finally successful, and a 
new channel was cut directly through the most beautiful part of the 
village, destroying much of its beauty and injuring its business to 
some extent. The canal is now 70 feet wide, 7 deep, and its banks 
are laid up with round stone all through the line, while in this 
village they are faced with cut stone. There are four iron bridges 
spanning it in this place, and there is here a large double lock, with 
a lift of about twelve feet. 

The first school was established in 1800. In 1857, a charter 
was obtained for a school under the title of the "Port Byron Free 
School and Academy," and in 1859, a lot of one and a half acres of 
land was purchased, and a substantial brick building, 60x50 feet, 



64 CAYUGA COUNTY. 



and 3 stories high, was erected, which is capable of accommodating 
four hundred pupils. The school is supported by tax on the 
property of the district, except the Academic department, which is 
maintained by tuition fees. The institution is under the superinten- 
dence of a Principal, and is managed by a board of nine trustees. 
It has a good library and scientific apparatus. It is classified into 
primary, junior, intermediate, senior and academic departments. 

A weekly paper is published at Port Byron, which affords a good 
local advertising medium, and is well sustained by the residents of 
the village and surrounding country. The present poj^ulation is 
about 1200. There are four churches in the village, viz : Presby- 
terian, Methodist, Baptist and Catholic. Brigham Young, theMor- 
man Saint, was formerly a resident of Port Byron. 

Centreport is a small settlement on the canal, in the east part of 
the town. 

The census of 1805 gives the town an area of 9,272 acres. 

MONTEZUMA was formed from Mentz April 8, 1859. It 
lies on the west border of the County, in the north-west angle of the 
great easterly bend in Seneca River. The great swamp known as 
the Montezuma Marshes, extends along the river. Cayuga Brook 
is the principal stream. Brine springs exist along the Seneca River. 
The soil is mainly a clayey loam. 

Montezuma [p. v.) is in the west part of the town, on Seneca 
River, and is the point of junction of the Seneca and Cayuga Canals. 
Salt and a few other articles are manufactured. Salt was first 
made at Montezuma about 1798 ; but about 1840 the business was 
abandoned in consequence of the brine being too weak to compete 
successfully with the springs at Salina and Syracuse. But since 
that time stronger springs have been discovered, and the manufac- 
ture of salt has been ♦esumed. The springs are the property of 
the State. The population of the place is about 500, 

Settlement was first made in 1798, by Peter Clark, from New 
York city. Comfort Tyler and Abram Morgan, who settled at 
Montezuma for the purpose of manufacturing salt. The first church 
(Bap.) was formed in 1803, by Rev. John Jefli'ies. There are now 
3 churches in town. 

The census of 1865 gives the town an area of 9,866 acres. 

JSTOjB 4 FjLI was formed from Sempronius March 20, 1833. 
It lies in the south-east part of the County, upon Owasco Lake and 
Inlet. The surface consists of a rolling upland, broken by the deep 
and narrow valleys of the Owasco Inlet and its branches. These 
valleys are 300 to 400 feet below the hill summits, and are bor- 
dered by steep, and, in some places, perpendicular sides. Upon 
the streams in the ravines are several beautiful cascades, furnishing 
an abundance of water power. Mill Brook,below its junction with 
Trout Brook, flows over a precipice 80 feet high. Upon the east 



CAYUGA COUNTY. 65 



tributary of the Inlet, near the south border, is a cascade known as 
Dry Falls, from the circumstance that in summer the stream ceases 
to flow. A little below this cascade is a circular recess in the face of 
a perpendicular precipice, 42 feet deep, and surrounded by a lime- 
stone arch 55 feet high and 125 feet long. Upon this arch rises a 
lofty hill, covered with primitive forest trees. A large spring of 
carburetted hydrogen gas, highly inflammable, exists on the lowlands, 
near the lake. Among the hills the soil is a gravelly loam mixed 
with clay, and in the valleys it consists of a rich loam, composed of 
gravel and disintegrated slate and limestone. In this town is one 
of those numerous valleys which are a peculiar characteristic of the 
surflice formation of Central New York. From its contiguity to 
the neighboring lake it has long been known as Owasco Flats. — 
The land is elevated some 300 or 400 feet at the head of the lake, 
and the decline to the valley is, in some places, so precipitous as 
to make the passage of vehicles impossible. The Flats stretch 
southward from the lake, for a distance of 5 miles, when the valley 
narrows into a winding ravine, thus continuing for many miles, oc- 
casionally expanding its confines to give place to a quiet hamlet. — 
These flats were partly cultivated by the Indians, prior to white 
settlement, and still bear traces of ancient occupation. 

In this valley, three miles south-east of Owasco Lake, is situated 
the pleasant village of Moravia. It is located on Mill Brook, 
whose rapids and cascades furnish at this point an abundant water 
power. As early as 1789, several settlers from adjoining town- 
ships came to the valley, then merely a rich meadow, and obtained 
a good supply of hay. Among them were Gideon Pitts and Jon- 
athan Brownell, from Genoa,and Jonathan Richmond, from Ledyard. 
The following year the same persons visited the place and planted 
about eight acres of corn, and afterward cut another crop of hay. 
But the first permanent settler was John Stoyell, an enterprising 
New England farmer, who moved to the valley in 1791, and after- 
ward purchased a large tract of land, including the site of the 
present village of Moravia. Three years after he was followed by 
his brother Amos, Winslow Perry and Jabez L. Bottom. In 1794 
they were followed by Gershom Morse and Moses Little, and in 
1795 by Cotton Skinner. The first birth was that of Seth, son of 
Winslow and Rachael Perry, in 1794 ; the first marriage that of 
Jonathan Eldridge and Sally Perry, in 1795 ; and the first death 
that of Cynthia Wright, April 5, 179G. The first school was 
taught by Levi Goodrich, in 1797; Zadoc Cady was the first inn- 
keeper, in 1801, and David Wright the first store-keeper. John 
Stoyell built the first mill. In the town of Sempronius, a district 
10 miles square, in January, 1794, were 26 persons; in 1810, 3,137 ; 
in 1820, 5,033. In 1810 the village contained six frame houses and 
about 100 inhabitants. It increased about 100 in the succeeding 12 



66 CAYUGA COUNTY. 



years, and in 1833 there were over 400 inhabitants. The present 
population is about 1000. John Knapp established a large tanner}- 
in the place in 1830, and a large cotton mill was built by a com- 
pany in the following year, both of which contributed greatly to 
the material prosperity of the place. In 1833 the village sufiered 
from an inundation which destroyed considerable valuable property. 
About the year 1818, Jethro Wood, a resident of Moravia, con- 
structed the cast iron plow, the first complete plow ever manufac- 
tured of cast iron. Elias Rogers was at that time engaged in mak- 
ing steelyards in the village, for which he cast weights, melting the 
iron over a blacksmith's fire in a kettle fixed for the purpose. — 
Wood learned of this, and called on Rogers to make a set of pat- 
terns for his newly invented plow. Rogers complied, and afterward 
yielded reluctantly to Mr. Wood's importunities to cast him a plow. 
The thing was considered foolish and visionary, — as have been most 
of the great reforms in mechanics, — by all who heard of it, but the 
plow was finally cast over a blacksmith's fire, in a building yet 
standing on the premises of Elias Rogei's, and the wooden port'ons 
attached in a building which occupied the site of the furnace. It 
was tried on a piece of land since owned by Abel Adams, and was 
found to be a success so far as the general principles involved in its 
construction were concerned. From this humble effort sprang up 
a large and flourishing manufiicturing business, which became an 
important feature in the man ufiictu ring interests of Moravia and 
the country at large. Arrangements were made whereby Mr. 
Rogers supplied the inventor with plow castings for a year or two, 
having built a furnace for that purpose near the stone mill bridge, 
the machinery being driven by water drawn from the saw mill dam 
of Deacon John Stoyell. Getting into somedifticulty regarding the 
water privilege, ho removed to Montvilleand built a log furnace 
near the spot where the grist mill now stands, and began, in company 
with Mr. George Lathrop, the manufacture of plows. This was the 
first regular establishment for the manufacture of cast iron plows of 
which any account is given. This building was soon burned down 
and another put up on the same site, and afterward the location 
was changed to the foot of Montville Falls. Here the plow busi- 
ness began to be made a distinct branch of manufjxcture, thousands 
being turned out annually. '^Tliey sold at $15 to $18 apiece, 
Wood receiving $1 on each plow sold. This indefatigable firm 
continued their business up to 1833, when, in the fearful storm of 
July, in that year, the establishment was swept away, and the bus- 
iness connection of this firm with it ceased. 

The village has several times sutfercd from floods, but still has 
held steadily on its way and is now the most important place in that 
section ©f the County. It contains a bank, the Moravia Instituti^, a 
foundry, machine shop and furnace, spoke fiictory, two grist mills. 



CAYUGA COUNTY. 67 



two good hotels, three churches, and a printing office from which n 
good weekly paper is issued. The Institute was established as an 
Academy in 183(5, and is in a prosperous condition. There are also 
two district schools in the place. The new Southern Central Rail- 
road is located through this village, and is likely to add much to 
the growth and prosperity of the place. The grounds of the Mo- 
ravia Agricultural Society are in the south part of the village. — 
Sylvan Grove Lodge, F. and A. M., was organized in 1810 and 
chartered in 1811, with DeWitt Clinton as Grand Master. St. 
John Baptist's Chapter was also organized in 1810 and chartered in 
1813. The first church (Cong.) was formed in 180G, Rev. Royal 
Phelps being the first pastor. 

One mile east of Moravia is the little village of MoiUville, where 
the stream has a fall of 60 feet, furnishing a good water power 
which is improved to some extent. A pail factory is being built 
at this place. There is also a cascade on what is called West Hill, 
a mile and a^half from Moravia, which is 100 feet high, and o^er 
which a large stream passes except in very dry seasons. 

The census of 1805 gives the town an area of 17,024 acres. 

N'lLlSS was formed from Sempronius, March 20, 1833. It 
lies south-east of the center of the County, between Cwasco and 
Skaneateles Lakes. The surface consists mainly of a hilly and roll- 
ing upland, whose extreme summits lie 700 feet above Owasco 
l^ake. Toward Owasco the declivities are gradual, but toward 
Skaneateles they are more abrupt. Dutch IIollow Brook flows 
north, through near the center, and is bordered by steep, high banks. 
On the highest point of land, three miles east of Owasco Lake, is a 
quarry of superior flagging stone. The soil is a gravelly and 
clayey loam. 

Kelloggsville, (p. v.) in the south part, contains 2 churches and 
about 30 dwellings ; New Hope, {p. v.) in the south-east part, con- 
tains a church, grist mill, saw mill, and about a dozen dwellings; 
Niles^ {p. 0.) in the north part, West Hiles, Twelve Corners, and 
Nine Corners, are hamlets. 

The first settlements were made in 1793, the earliest settlers be- 
ing Garrett Conover, and his sons, John and Aaron, Isaac Selovei", 
James Brinkerhofl' and William Bowen. The first child born was 
Sally Amerman, in 1798. 

The cen-us of 1865 gives the town an area of 23,592 acres. 

OWASCO V.' as tbrmed from Aurelius, March 30, 1802. It 
lies south-east of the center of the County, and east of the foot of 
Owasco Lake. The surface is rolling, with a northwesterly inclina- 
tion. It slopes gradually upward from the lake, till the highest 
summits reach an elevation of 500 feet. The only streams are 
Miller's Brook, in the north part, and Owasco Creek, flowing west 
across the south part. The soil consists of a clayey loam. 



68 CATUGA COUNTY. 



Owitsco, (j). V.) in the south-east corner, contains 2 churches and 
about 50 dwellings. 

The first settlements were made in 1792, the pioneers being 
Samuel and Benjamin De Puy, Moses CartWright, and Jacob and 
RoelitrBrinkerhoff. The first inn was kept by Cornelius Delama- 
ter, in 1800 ; James Burrows kept the first store, in 1807 ; and 
David Bovier built the first grist mill, in 1798. The first church 
was formed in 1798, by Hev. Abram Brokaw. This town is the 
residence of ex-Governor Throop, who, at the advanced age of 83, 
still lives in the enjoyment of health and activity, ct-owned with the 
clustering honors of a long life of public usefulness, after most of 
his political compeers have passed from the scenes of earth. 

Tlie census of 1865 gives the town an area of 11,845 acres. 

SCTPIO wiis one of the original towns, having been formed 
March 5, 1794. Sempronius was taken oft' in 1799; a partof Mar- 
cellus, (Onondaga Co.,) in 1804 ; Ledyard, Venice and a part of 
Springport, in 1823. It is located on the west shore of Owasco 
Lake, south of the center of the County, and has a rolling surface, 
the highest summits being 500 feet above the lake. A steep bluff', 
20 to 50 feet high, extends along the lake, and from its summit the 
land slopes gradually upward for about a mile. The streams are 
nothing but mere brooks, and the soil is a clayey loam. 

Scipio Center [Scipio j). o.) contains 2 churches and about 80 in- 
habitant-!; Scipioville (p. V.) near the west line, is about the same 
size, as also is Sherwood''s, (p. v.) near the south-west corner. The 
Square, (p. o.) in the north-west part, and BoWs Corners, in the 
south part, are hamlets. 

In 1790 the first settlements were made, Elisha Durkee, Henry 
Watkins, Gilbert and Alanson Tracy, Samuel Branch, Ebenezcr 
Witter and Gideon Alien, being the pioneers. The first child 
born was Betsy Durkee, Dec. 5, 1790; the first marriage was that 
of William Allen and Betsy Watkins, June 25, 1793. William 
Daniels taught the first school, in 1798, and Dr. Strong kept the 
first store, in 1808. The first religious services were held by El- 
der David Irish, in 1794, and the first church (Baptist,) was formed 
the same year. 

The census of 1865 gives the town an area of 23,963| acres. 

SEMmO^IUS ^Viis formed March 9, 1799, and a part an- 
nexed to Marcellus, (Onondaga Co.,) March 24, 1804, and Moravia 
and Niles, March 20, 1833. It lies on Skaneateles Lake, in the 
south-east part of the County. From the valley formed by the 
lake and inlet, the hills rise abruptly to a height of 800 to 1000 feet, 
and from their summits the surface spreads out into a rolling and 
hilly upland, the highest points being 1,700 feet above tide. Mill 
Brook, flowing west. Bear Swamp Brook, north, and Fall Brook, 
south, have worn deep valleys in the drift deposits and shales. The 



CATUGA COUNTY. 69 



soil is a good quality of clayey, sandy and gravelly loam, mixed 
with disintegrated slate and limestoiie. 

Dresserville, (p. v.) on Mill Brook, in the south part, contains 
about 30 dwellings ; Vansvilk, [Sempronhis p. o.) is a small vil- 
lage. Glen Haven, [p. o.) is a celebrated water cure establish- 
ment near the head of Skaneateles Lake. It is beautifully situated 
in the midst of romantic scenery^ and is supplied with pure, soft, 
spring waten 

The first settlement was made in 1794, by Ezekiel Sayles, J®- 
tham Bassett and Seth Burgess. Benj. Sayles was the first child 
born, in 1794, The fiJ'st marriage was that of Samuel Rice aiid 
Matilda Summerston, and the first death that of Samuel Rice. Cy- 
rus Powers taught the first school, in 1800 ; John Husted kept the 
first inn and store, and Artemus Dresser erected the first mill. — 
The first church, (Baptist,) was formed February, 29, 1798, Rev. 
John Lasure being the first preacher. 

The census of 1865 gives the town an area of 16,079 acres. 

SEWKETT w'&s formed from Brutus, March 19, 1827, and 
was named from Judge Daniel Sennett, an early pioneer. A por- 
tion ofThroop was taken off in 1859. It lies on the east border of 
the County, near the center, and has a level or gently undulating 
surface, the ridges rising in long, gradual slopes, 50 to 100 fCet 
above the valleys. Small brooks are the only streams. - The soil 
is a deep, fertile, clayey and sandy loam, and is under a high state 
of cultivation. 

Sennett {p. v.) is a station on the Auburn Branch of the New 
York Central Rail Road, and contains 2 churches and ' about 30 
dwelliftofs. 

The first settlement was made in 1794^ by Ebenezer Heaiy, Jo- 
seph Atwell, Thomas Morley andThos. Morley, Jr., from Connecti- 
cut, on Lot 21, Judge Daniel Sennett, Amos Bennett, Jacob, Rn- 
fus and Daniel Sheldon, from Connecticut, settled on Lot 99, in 
1795, In 1797, Jacob Hicks, a Revolutionary soldier, having 
drawn Lot 99, settled on it, Benjamin Miller, also a Revolutiona- 
ry soldier, settled on Lot 17, and Jabez Remmington and Hezekiah 
Ffeeman, from Vermont, on Lots 21 and 10. The first child born 
was Sally Smith, in 1795 ; the first marriage that of Nehemiah 
Smith and Mindevill Morley, in 1794 ; and the first death that of 
Thomas Morley, in 1795. Betsey Morley taught the first school, in 
1795 ; Joseph Atwell kept the first inn, ia the same year, and 
Sheldon & Lathrop kept the first store. The first church (Baptist,) 
was formed Sept, 12, 1799, by Rev. Manasseh French, who was 
the first preacher. 

The census of 1865 gives the town an .area of 18,480 acres. 



70 CAYUOA COUNTY. 



SPRINGPORT was formed from Scipio and Aurelius, 
January 30, 1823. It lies on the east shore of Cayuga Lake, south- 
west of the center of the County, The surface rise? in gradual 
slopes from the lake shore to the eastern border, \vl>ere it attains 
an elevation of 400 to 500 feet. Valuable beds of waterlime and 
plaster, and limestone quarries, exist on the shore of the lake, and 
along the ra.vanes, and are extensively worked. Two immense 
springs flow from the ground in the village, furnishing a valuable 
water power, and giving the name both to town and village. They 
are about 10 rods apart, and from the waters o^' the la?ger a mill 
pond, covering several acres, has been forfned, aflbrding water 
power sufficient to run a flouring mill with six rim of stone, a plas- 
ter mill, saw mill, and various other machinery. The water of the 
smaller spring propeJs the machinery of a planJng mill, saw mill 
and tannery. The s^oil is of superior quality, being a sa^ndy and 
gravelly loam, in places mixed with clay. The lake is so deep as 
to rarely freeze over, and the warmth of the watef modifies the 
intensity of the winter frosts essentially. Both climate and soil 
.are admirably adapted to fruit growing, to which considera/ble at- 
tention is paid. The culture of grapes is carried on in sorWe parts 
>©f the town with signal success. 

Union Springs •(/). v.) is beautifully situated on Cayuga Lake, 
south of the center of the town sjaid on its western border, and de- 
riives its name from the springs Issefore referred to. Much specula- 
tion has been indulged in as to tiie origin of these springs, hiii no- 
thing satisfactory and conclusivv>e';;has yet been determined as to 
their source. It has been thought that they come from Owaseo 
Lake, which is considerably higher than Cayuga, but geologists 
claim that the formation of the rocks in that locality will not admit 
of such a theory. A singular circiamstance exists in the fact that 
from two to four miles east of Cayuga Lake, large streams have 
beeii found forty-five feet under s:r©und, running from east to west. 
Edward Richardson dammed up the north spring about 1790, and 
a log grist mill was built there not long after ; but the other spring- 
was not used till several years thereafter. The view of the town 
approaching the lake is remarkably beautiful, as also is the view 
approaching it from .tlie lake. Opposite the village lies the little 
island of Frontenac, tlie only one to be found in the whole tier of 
the charminof lakes of Central New York. Street has immortalized 
the little isle in one of his most musical and delightful poems, en- 
titled " Frontenac: ■" 

• " Sweet Sylvan Lake ! one single gem 

Is iu thy liquid diadem ; 

No sister bath this little Isle 

To give its beauty smile for smile, 

Witli it to hear the blue birds sing — 

" Wake, leaves and flowers, here comes the spring," 

With it to weave for summer's tread. 

Mosses beneatli and bowers o'erhead. 



CAYUGA COUNTY. 71 



With it to flash to gorgeous skies 
The opal pomp of autumn's dyes, 
And when the winter's tempests blow, 
To shrink beneath his robes of snow." 

The island is three-quarters of a mile from the village, contains 
about an acre of land, and was used as a place of burial by the In- 
dians, who inhabited the country around. Numerous relics of In- 
dian warfare and the chase, with many human bones, are still found 
on it. Frontenac was deeded to Union Springs by the Commis- 
sioners of the Land Office, acting under the provisions of legislative 
enactment, on condition that it should be kept and maintained as a 
parlv and pleasure ground. Not long after the deed was granted, 
the villagers held a public meeting and settled a plan for the im- 
provement of the island. The underbrush was cleared away, gravel 
walks made, and seats provided, making it a charming retreat. 

When the Cayugas sold their lands to the State, they refused to 
part with a strip four miles wide, running from Aurora to Monte- 
zuma. In 1789, William Richardson and several others had set- 
tled on this Reservation ; the Indians entered complaint against 
them, and the forces of the State compelled the intruders to seek 
elsewhere for plhce of settlement. Thus the land in this locality 
was not occupied permanently, as early as the section lying flirther 
to the south ; for no title could be secured till the Indians surren- 
dered the Reservation to the State. The remnant of the tribe lin- 
gered on the point south of the village, and one of the chiefs re- 
mained after his dusky friends and associates had all gone to the 
far west, saying it was "impossible for him to leave the beautiful 
water." After a time he died and was buried near the waters he so 
well loved. 

It is stated that a hamlet containing several dwellings and a store, 
had been built up before a building was erected in what is now Un- 
ion Springs ; but if such was the case not a trace of it remains at 
the present day. Like most of the early settled towns in the Coun- 
ty, this owed its location and subsequent gz'owth to its water power. 
The first mill was erected in the place about the time Harden- 
burgh's mills were put up in Auburn ; and, previous to this, some 
of the early settlers had to go eighty miles to get their grists ground. 
Edward Richardson became the first owner of the mill property, 
which was afterward transferred to one Longnecker. The first per-j 
manent settlement was made by James Carr, Frederick Gearhart, 
Thomas Thompson, William S. Burling, Dr. John Mosher, Dr. 
Stephen Mosher, John Earl, William Barker and Capt. Cozzens ; 
all of whom settled at or about the same time, viz: in 1800. The 
post-office was established in that year, Dr. John Mosher being the 
first post-master. The first school in town was kept near Union 
Springs by Amos Comely ; Thomas Collins was the first inn- 
keeper, and Laban Hoskins and Walter Low were the first store- 



73 CAYUGA COUNTY. 



keepers, in or about 1810. Mr. Winnegar located in the place in 
1816, and in 1830 started a factory. Five years later a woolen 
mill was put up at the south pond. From the date of first settle- 
ment the growth of the town became sure and steady, owing to its 
water power, and the large gypsum and limestone quarries near by. 
We may remark in this connection, that sulphur abounds in this 
vicinity in such quantities as to impregnate much of the spring and 
well water. Salt has also been found near the lake, and various 
plans have been laid for the erection of salt works, many believing 
that the investment would prove a success, and a source of wealth 
and prosperity to the place. From a salt spring where the Basin 
is, the early inhabitants obtained a good supply of salt, and the water 
of many wells in the vicinity is salt and brackish. 

Sometime previous to 1835, George Rowland, of New Bedford, 
a man of great energy and enterprise, purchased considerable prop- 
erty in and about the village, and erected the flouring mill at the 
north pond. The mill is built of limestone, four stories high, with 
four run of stone, and cost $40,000. Adjoining it is a saw mill and 
a plaster mill, the three being connected with the lake by a canal, 
so that the products of all can be shipped without the trouble and 
expense of cartage. The pond covers four and a half acres, and 
furnishes a fall of eighteen feet. The town was visited by a severe 
fire in 1854, which tended to check the growth and prosperity of 
the place. Anthony & Rowantree's Agricultural Works were de- 
stroyed, and the operatives being thrown out of employment, re- 
moved from the place. In 1861, another fire destroyed a great 
amount of valuable property, but with wonderful vigor the village 
has recovered from these disasters, and is now increasing in size 
and apparently in business prosperity. A lumber yard, store-house, 
tile yard, the agricultural works and foundry, grist mill and saw 
mill, various mills, etc., of Howland, Robinson & Co., are the prin- 
cipal items of business in Springport. Limestone quarries, plaster 
beds, and a large nursery, are found close by, and it is estimated 
that the annual shipments of ground plaster amount to over $18,000 
per year, while the shipments of unground plaster and limestone an- 
nually reach over $80,000. 

The Friends Academy at Union Springs belongs to the New York 
Yearly Meeting of Orthodox Friends. It was founded in 1858, by 
subscription, since which time its capacity has been increased. The 
building is substantial, and, with the apparatus, cost $20,000. Tho 
building is of brick, 135 feet long, 3 stories and basement, and will 
accommodate 100 boarders. The school is maintained by its cur- 
rent receipts, all profits being applied to improvements. Both 
sexes are instructed in the school, which partakes much of the char- 
acter of a large family. A thorough and complete course of study 



CATUOA COUNTY. 73 



in mathematics, the sciences and ancient and modern languages, 
has been provided. 

Union Springs is also the seat of a very successful Young Ladies' 
Collegiate Institute. It was founded by means of a fund left by 
Mr. George Howland, for the "thorough, moral, intellectual and re- 
ligious training of young females," and has met with a well-deserved 
and flattering patronage. Besides these there is a large, flourishing 
Union school, which is doing much to raise the standard of educa- 
tion in the village. The school building is of brick, neat in appear- 
ance and convenient in its arrangements. 

The New York Central Fire Insurance Company has its head- 
quarters here. It was organized at first as a Mutual Company, but 
in 1863, was re-organized as a stock company, and its name changed. 
It has a cash capital of $100,000, the total assets being $165,000. 
This company is conducted on sound business principles, and is 
perfectly safe and reliable. Beside the business places already 
enumerated, Union Springs contains a bank, a good hotel, and many 
handsome residences. There are seven churches in the village. — 
The first church in the town of Springport was Congregational, and 
was formed by Rev. Joshua Lane, the first preacher. 

The census of 1865 gives the town an area of 12,975 acres. 

STERLIJ^Gf named from William Alexander, Lord Sterling, 
of Revolutionary memory, was formed from Cato, June 19, 1812. 
It lies in the extreme north part of the County, on Lake Ontario, 
and has a rolling surface, with a trifling inclination toward the north. 
The summits of the ridges in the south stand 200 to 300 feet above 
the lake, and Big BluflT, on the lake shore, has about the same ele- 
vation. Little Sodus Creek, with its branches, flowing into Little 
Sodus Bay, and Cortwright Brook, flowing into Blind Sodus Bay, 
are the streams. Little Sodus Bay is about two miles long and 
one wide, and is one of the best natural harbors on the south shore 
of the Lake. A swamp, covering several hundred acres, extends 
along the lake shore, east of the bay, and another lies on the south 
border of the town. The soil is a sandy and gravelly loam, and 
in some places is stony and difiicult to cultivate. Outcrops of Me- 
dina sandstone and Oneida conglomerate, are quarried in the town 
for building purposes. The former is extensively used for under- 
pinnings of houses and farm buildings ; and it has been observed 
that hogs are fond of licking the stone whenever they have access 
to it. It causes them to foam at the mouth, and hence they can be 
flittened only with difficulty. 

Sterling Center {Sterling p. 0.) contains about 40 dwellings; 
Fair Haven, []). v.) on Little Sodus Bay, about the same number. 
Martville, [p. 0.) near the south-east corner ; Sterling Valley (p.o.) 
and North Sterling, {p. 0.) are small places. 

Peter Dumas, the first settler, was a Frenchman who came to 



74 CAYUGA COUNTY. 



this country with La Fayette, and having served through the Revo- 
lution, drew Lot 17, in Sterlirg, in 1805, as his part of the Military 
Tract. Capt. Andrew Rassmusen settled on Lot No 1, in the 
same year. He was killed on board of an American vessel on Lake 
Ontario, in 1812. Francis DeCamp located near Martville in 
180G ; William Divine, Nathan Wilmot and Jehial Peck, on Lot 
11, in 1807 ; Jacob Wilsey, from Saratoga County, on Lot 14, in 
1808 ; John Cooper, on Lot 12, John Dusenberry, on Lot 44, Cur- 
tis Stoddard, on Lot 19, John Mackfarland and son, from Wash- 
ington County, on Lot 27, John and Matthew Harsha, from "Wash- 
ington County, at Martville, in 1810; William Cooper, Joseph 
Bunnell and John Turner, from Long Island, in 1811 ; and George 
Cooper, from Saratoga County, in 1812. Isaac Hoppins was the 
first child born, March 16, 1807 ; the first marriage was that of 
Matthew Harsha and Charity Turner, and the first death that of 
Ezra, son of Peter Dumas, July 21, 1806. The first school was 
taught by Benj. Clark, in 1812; Wm. Cooper kept the first inn, in 
1810; John Cooper erected the first saw mill, in the same year, 
and the first grist mill, in 1815. The first church, (Asso. Ref. Pres.) 
was organized in 1819. 

The census of 1865 gives the town an area of 25,237 acres. 

SUMMER HILL was form.ed from Locke, as ''Plato;' 
April 26, 1831, but its name was changed March 16, 1832. It is 
situated in the south-east corner of the County, and has a rolling 
surface, 1000 to 1100 feet above tide. Fall Brook, the principal 
stream, flows south through the east part, and its valley, 300 to 400 
feet below the hill summits, forms the only break of any account in 
the general surface level. Summer Hill Lake is a small sheet of 
water in the north-east part, and discharges its water into Fall 
Brook. The soil is a clayey and gravelly loam, with clay predomi- 
nating. 

Summer Hill, {p. v.) in the south part, contains about 115 in- 
habitants. 

The first settlement was made in 1797, by Hezekiah Mix, from 
Genoa, on Lot 37, near the village. Among the early settlers were 
Nathaniel Fillmore, father of ex-President Millard Fillmore, who 
was born in this town, Martin Barber, William Webster, Joseph 
Cone, William Honeywell, James Savage, Harvey Hough and Jo- 
siah Walker. Nathaniel Fillmore taught the first school, in 1804. 
The matter of the first birth in the town is unsettled, some claim- 
ing that Millard Fillmore was the first child born in the town, oth- 
ers granting the priority to Anson Cone ; the first marriage was that 
of Ebenezer Crowl and Rosanna Mix, in 1803, and the first death 
that of Amos Mix, who was killed by the falling of a tree, in 1798. 
Joseph Cone kept the first inn, in 1803 ; Charles Crane the first 
store, and Ebenezer Bennett the first mill, in 1816. The first

church (Baptist,) was formed in 1807, with Elder Whipple as the 
first pastor. 

The census of 1865 gives the town an area of 15,616 acres. 

TJEIJtOOJPf named after ex-Governor Enos T. Throop, 
was formed from Aurelius, Mentz and Sennett, April 8, 1859. It 
is an interior town, lying north-west of the center of the County. — 
The surface is generally level, though broken in a few places by 
sand and gravel ridges, 100 to 150 feet high, Owasco Outlet and 
Cayuga Brook are the principal streams. The soil is a sandy and 
gravelly loam, 

Throopsville, {p. v.) on Owasco Inlet, contains three churches, a 
grist and saw mill, and woolen factory, and about 150 inhabitants. 

The first settlement was made on Lot No, 2, in 1790, by Ezekiel 
Crane and his son Shadrach, from New Jersey. Among others 
who early settled in the town were Isaac Barnum, Othniel Palmer 
and son, from Connecticut, Israel Clapp, from Massachusetts, on Lot 
16 ; James Leonard and William Durell, from New Jersey, on 
Lots 2 and 4 ; Jonas Ward and his son Caleb, from the same 
State, on Lot 92, in 1796 ; Christopher and Rev, John Jeftries, 
from Saratoga Springs, on Lot 16 ; Ephraim Wethy, from Dutch- 
ess Co., Manonah Clark, from Oneida Co,, on Lot 4, in 1799 ; 
David and Amos Codner, on Lot 14, in 1801, The first marriage 
was that of Shadrach Crane and Hannah Palmer ; the first birth 
that of Ezekiel Crane. Edward Carpenter taught the first school, 
in 1800; Israel Clapp kept the first inn, in 1800; Luther Harden, 
the first store, in 1804 ; and Prentice Palmer erected the first saw 
and grist mill, in 1798. 

The census of 1865 gives the town an area of 11,105 acres. 

VENICE is an interior town, south of the center of the Coun- 
ty, and was formed from Scipio, January 30, 1823, Owasco Lake 
borders on the north-ef st corner, and Salmon and Little Salmon 
Creeks flow south in deep valleys which divide the surface into well 
defined ridges. The surface is a rolling upland with the highest 
summits 300 to 400 feet above Owasco Lake, The declivities on 
the lake and the west bank of Salmon Creek are steep, but generally 
the hillsides are long, narrow slopes. The soil is a fine quality of 
clayey and gravelly loam, 

Venice, (p. v.) in the north part, contains one church and about 
20 houses ; Poplar Ridge, {p. v.) on the highest summit, in the 
north-west, is about the same size; EastVenice [p. 0.) and Venice 
Center (p. o.) are hamlets. 

The first settlement was made in 1800. Henry Hewitt, Ezekiel 
Landon, Samuel Robinson and Zadoc Bateman, at Stewart's Cor- 
ners ; Samuel Childsey and Amos Rathbun, at Poplar Ridge ; Luke 
Taylor and Thomas Cannon, all of whom came between 1790 and 
1800, were the first settlers. Lemon Cole was the first child born; 



76 CATUGA COUNTY. 



the first death was that of Herrick, a pioneer, killed by the 

falling of a tree. The first inn was kept by Samuel Robinson, and 
the first mill was erected at Venice Village in 1835. The first 
church (Baptist,) was formed at Stewart's Corners (now Venice,) 
in 1800, by Elder Irish. On the ridge, east of Salmon Creek, near 
the south border of the town, are the remains of an ancient fortifi- 
cation. Upon the creek, near the center of the town, the whites at 
their advent, found extensive fields, cleared and cultivated, near 
which was an Indian burial ground. 

The census of 1865 gives the town an area of 25,727 acres. 
VICTOMYv^as formed from Cato, March 16, 1821. It lies 
on the west border of the County, north-west of the centre, and has 
a gently undulating surface, the highest points of which are scarcely 
50 feet above the general level. Red and Little Sodus Creeks ai"e 
the principal streams. The underlying rocks consist of red shale 
and blue limestone, deeply covered with drift deposit. The soil 
is a gravelly and sandy loam, and a swamp in tlie south-west part 
covers several hundred acres. 

Victory, (p. v.) near the centre, contains about 25 houses, and 
Westbury, [p. v.) on the line of Wayne County, about 50. 

John McNeal, from Montgomery Co., commenced the settlement 
of this town, in 1800, together with John and Samuel Martin, from 
Ireland, on lot 65. Patrick Murphy, from Ireland, settled on lot 
54, in Feb., 1806 ; Matthias Vanderhuyden, from Albany County,

on lot 29, all in 1812. Mrs. Jane Wood was the first child born, 
in 1804 ; and the first death was that of John McNeal, in 1800. — 
The first church (M. E.) was formed in 1813, by Rev. Zenas Jones, 
the first preacher. 

The census of 1865 gives the town an area of 20,494 acres.

Saippleaiieiitary to Historical ^keteh of Aii- 



Among the many extensive manufacturing establishments of Au- 
burn, perhaps none have attained a higher degree of excellence in 
their line of manufactures than that of " The Reynolds Steel Tem- 
pering Works^'' Reynolds, Barber & Co., proprietors, on Mechanic 
street. This firm are extensively engaged in the manufacture of 
Reynold's Celebrated Damascus Spring Tempered Sections, for 
Reapers and Mowers, plane irons and all edge tools. 

The National Republican, Washington, D. C, of Nov. 17, 180(5, 
speaicing of Improvements in Tempering Steel, says: 

"A manufacturer of steel implements, residing near Skaneateles, 
N. Y., (now of Auburn, N. Y.,) some 12 years ago, named Asa R. 
Reynolds, commenced the investigation of the hardening and tem- 
pering process by which steel was given a Damascus-spring tem- 
per and a cutting edge. He is an elementary man, who dives deep 
down to the bottom of his profession. He found that steel was only 
carbonized iron, partially fibrous ; that iron as it lay in the quarry 
was not fibrous at all ; that the fibre given to it was artificial ; that 
the carbonization of it, in order to bring it into a specific condition, 
whether as iron or steel, ought to be reduced to a system ; and 
finally that the whole work of tempering (granulating) steel should 
be accomplished by a heavy hammer falling on a vibrating anvil, at 
a single blow. His invention is now patented." 

For the benefit of such of our readez's as are interested in procur- 
ing the best Sections for Reapers and Mowers in the market, we 
give an extract from Report of Committee on National Implement 
Trial, held at Auburn, 1866. Pages 131, 139, 140, 142. 

"There is no portion of a mowing machine more essential to its 
easy working than the sections. They must be properly formed, 
that is, the angles which the cutting sides make with the base must 
be accurately adjusted to the rapidity of their vibrations, and their 
temper must be such as to ensure the best cutting edge. 

" The whole course of our experience has shown us the impor- 
tance of this matter, and it has been amply illustrated and confirmed 
in the course of these trials. Experience has shown that where the 
whole section is tempered, it is too frangible for practical use ; the 
slightest contact with stones, sticks, or other obstructions, causes it 
to fly in pieces like glass ; the central portion of the section is there- 
fore left soft, while the tempering is confined to a portion extending 
from one-half to five-eighths of an inch from the edge. The violent 
change in the structure of the metal, lying on either side of the line

of demarkation, often causes a fracture, resulting in loss to the manu- 
facturer or the fanner, according to the time when the fracture be- 
came apparent. 

"Desirous of investigating this matter as thoroughly as possible, 
we collected the sections of different makers to as great an extent as 
we were able, and subjected them to a series of careful experiments. 
We found no fractures in any of the sections manufactured by the 
Messrs, Reynolds, of Auburn, but we detected them in about ten 
per cent, of those made by other manufacturers. We caused near- 
ly 1-1 6th of an inch to be successively ground off from the edge of 
each of the samples, examining carefully the temper of the edge 
after each grinding. The sections of Mr. Reynolds retained their 
temper perfectly for ten successive grindings. None of the others 
showed as good a temper after the third grinding; some of them 
were so poor that after the third grinding the edge could be cut off" 
with an ordinary pocket knife. The test of temper that we used 
was to draw the smooth front part of a saw file along the edge at an 
angle of from 10 to 15 degrees, observing that the edge visibly 
sprung during the passage ; we then pressed on the edge at an angle 
of forty-five degrees, when the edge would break, making two dis- 
tinct sounds in the act of fracture, showing that there was sufficient 
elasticity in the steel to prevent its breaking on both sides at once. 

"All of the Messrs. Reynolds' sections conformed to this test 
through ten successive grindings. Several of the others broke when 
pressed upward at an angle of fifteen degrees. Some of them bent 
permanently, when pressed upon. None of them except Messrs. 
Reynolds' showed a good temper after the third grinding. Where 
a graver was pressed into the section at the center, and carried to- 
w'ards the edge with a uniform pressure, the groove formed grew; 
gradually shallower, until it touched the line of demarkation — in 
the Messrs. Reynolds' sections — showing tliat the hardening was 
progressive from the center to the line of demarkation. In the sec- 
tions made by other firms the groove formed by the graver was of 
uniform depth until it touched the line of demarkation, when it be- 
came at once very shallow. The test shows that the sections of the 
Messrs. Reynolds grew gradually harder from the center to the line 
of demarkation, and that the quality of the metal on either side of 
the line is not so dissimilar as to cause fractures, and accounted very 
fully for their absence in the sections. 

" Having thus ascertained the superiority of these sections, we 
were desirous of seeing the processes of their manufacture, and on 
making known our wishes, the Messrs Reynolds were kind enough 
to show us the whole of their works, and we confess to a feeling of 
great surprise on seeing their sections so perfectly tempered with-

lohich was cracked^ or which exhibited any traces of fissure whatever. 
We believe this process will greatly enhance the efficiency of our reap- 
ing and mowing machines, and we rejoice that American ingenuity 
has perfected so valuable an invention. The process, though un- 
patented at the time of the trial, has since been covered by letters 
patent." 

In connection with increased speed necessary in using a poor 
section, the Committee say : 

"Probably the increase of speed had its origin in imperfectly 
tempered sections which called for velocity as an equivalent for a 
good edge. Since Mr. Reynolds' discovery of a method of tem- 
pering these sections in a uniform and reliable manner, there is no 
lunger any necessity for resorting to this expedient, and we hope to 
see a general reduction of the velocity of high speeded machines.

right had been constitutionally adopted and is the law of the land. 



THE TERRITORIES, 

THEIE BOUBTDARIES, AEEA, PHYSICAL FBATUEES, ETC. 



^Z/^iS^^, our new territory, recently purchased of Russia, compre- 
hends all the north-west coast on the Pacific, and the adjacent islands north 
of the parallel of 50 degrees 40 minutes north, and the portion of the main- 
land west of the meridian (about 140° west) of Mount St. Elias. The area 
is computed at 481,276 square miles. The climate, although warmer than 
in the same latitude on the eastern coast, is too rigorous to admit of suc- 
cessful agricultural operations, and the chief value of the country and ad- 
jacent seas is derived from their fisheries and hunting grounds. The south- 
ern and central portions are mountainous ; the northern portion along the 
Arctic ocean is quite flat, nowhere rising more than fifteen or twenty feet 
above the sea. The population is estimated at about 80,000, mostly Esqui- 
meaux. 

A mZOJVA was organized by the Thirty-Seventh Congress, in the win- 
ter of 1863, out of the western half of New Mexico, the boundary between 
the two Territories being the 109th meridian (32dwest from Washington,) 
and includes the greater portions of the valleys of Colorado and Gila, 
which two rivers drain its entire surface, with parts of Utah, New Mexico 
and Nevada, and yet convey, it is reported, a less volume of water to the 
sea than the Hudson at Albany. The fertile Messilla Valley was left with 
New Mexico. The Territory forms a block nearly square, and contains 
126,141 square miles, or 80,730,240 acres. Its white population is probably 
considerably less than 10,000. For agricultural purposes it is probably 
the most worthless on the Continent, owing to the absence of rains, but it 
is reputed to abound in silver mines. 

6'(>>Z(9:^^:2><9 was organized March 2, 1861, from parts of Kansas, 
Nebraska and Utah, and is situated on each side of the Rocky Mountains, 
between latitude 37° and 41°, and longitude 25° and 32° west from Wash-

ington. Area 104,500 square miles, or 66,880,000 acres. Population 50,- 
OOU, besides numerous tribes of Indians. By an enabling act passed Marck 
21, 1864, the people of the Territory were authorized to frame a State Con- 
stitution and organize a State Government, and a Convention accordingly 
met in 1805, and on the 12th of August adopted a Constitution, which was 
submitted to and adopted by the people September 5, and State ofBcei-s 
elected November 14. A bill to admit the Territory as a State passed 
Congress, but was vetoed May 25, 1806. It is said to be a superior graz- 
ing and cattle producing region, with a healthy climate and rich soil. 
An extensive coal bed, and also gold, iron and other minerals abound. 

^^^<9yiil was first settled by emyloyees of the Hudson Bay Com- 
pany, but is now being peopled by emigrants from the Northern and Wes- 
tern States. It was set off from the western portion of Minnesota when 
that Territory became a State in 1857, and was organized March 2, 1861. 
Area 148,932 square miles, or 95,316,480 acres. Population 2.576 whites, 
and 3,261 Indians, besides the roving tribes. 

I^A.110 was organized by the Thirty-Seventh Congress, at its second 
session, in the winter of 1863. Its name means 'Bead of the Mountains,' 
and it embraces the whole breadth of the Rocky Mountain region, and has 
within its bounds the head waters of nearly all the great rivers that flow 
down its either slope, but the greater portion lies east of the mountains. 
Its southern boundary is the 41st, its northern the 46th parallel of latitude. 
It extends from the 104th meridian on the east to the 110th on the west. 
Area 326,373 square miles, or 208,870,720 acres. For agricultural purposes 
it is comparatively worthless, but abounds in gold and other valuable 
mines. 

.MOJ\rTA.JV^ was settled by emigrants from the Northern and West- 
ern States. Organized in 1864, with the following boundaries: Com- 
mencing at a point formed by the intersection of the 27° L. W. from Wash- 
ington with the 45'' N. L. ; thence due west on said 45th degree to a point 
formed by iis intersection with the 34th degree W. from Washington ; 
thence due south along said 34th degree of longitude to its intersection 
with the 44th degree and 30 minutes of N. L. ; thence due west along said 
44th degree and 30 minutes of N. L. to a point formed by its intersection 
with the crest of the Rocky Mountains; thence following the crest of the 
Rocky Mountains northward till its intersection with the Bitter Root 
Mountains ; thence northward along the crest of said Bitter Root Moun- 
tains to its intersection with the 39th degree of longitude W. from Wash- 
ington; thence along said 39th degree of longitude northward to the 
boundary line of the British possessions; thence eastward along said 
boundary to the 27th degree of longitude W. from Washington ; thence 
southward along said 27th degree to the place of beginning. This makes 
it the northermost Territory next the States east of the Missouri Valley. It 
is a good mining and agricultural region. The total population is put 
down at 15,822. Large accessions have been made since the census was 
taken. 

JV£Jyy MJSXICO was formed from a part of the territory ceded to 
the United States by Mexico, by the treaty of Guadaloupe Hidalgo, Feb- 
ruary 2, 1848, and was organized into a Territory September 9, 1850. — 
Area 121,201 square miles, or 77,568,640 acres. Population 83,000, besides 
large tribes of warlike Indians. The principal resource of the country is 
its minerals.

have been found. Not one-fiftieth part of the soil is fit for tillage, but on 
that which is, abundant crops of grain and considerable cotton are raised. 
A Convention was held at Great Salt Lake City, January 22, 1862, and a 
State Constitution formed, but it has not been acted on by Congress.

States Government of claims

erty lost in the service, exempt 

CANCELLATION. 

In all cases where an adhesive stamp is 
used for denoting the stamp duty upon an 
instrument, the person using or affixing the 
same must write or imprint thereupon i/i 
ink the initials of his name, and the date 
(the year, month, and day) on which the 
same is attached or used. Each stamp 
should be separately cancelled. When 
stamps are printed upon checks, &c., so 
tlmt in filling up the instrument, the face of 
the stamp is and must necessarily be writ- 
ten across, no other cancellation will be re- 
quired. 

All cancellation must be distinct and legi- 
ble, and except in the case of proprietary 
stamps from private dies, no method of 
cancellation which differs from that above 
described can be recognized as legal and 
sufficient. 

PENALTIES. 

A penalty of fifty dollars is imposed upon 
every person who makes, signs, or issues, 
or who causes to be made, signed, or issu- 
ed, any paper of any kind or description 
whatever, or who accepts, negotiates, or 
pays, or causes to be accepted, negotiated, 
or paid, any bill of exchange, draft, or or- 
der, or promissory note, for the payment of 
money, without the same being duly stamp- 
ed, or hiaving thereupon an adhesive stamp 
for denoting the tax chargeable thereon, 
cancelled in the manner required by law, 
with intent to evade the provisions of the 
revenue act. 

A penalty of two hundred dollars is im- 
posed upon every person who pays, nego- 
tiates, or offers in payment, or receives or 
takes in payment, any bill of exchange or 
order for the payment of any sum of money 
drawn or purporting to be drawn in a for- 
eign country, but payable in the United 
States, until the proper stamp has been af- 
fixed thereto. 

A penalty of fifty dollars is imposed upon 
every person who fraudulently makes use 
of an adhesive stamp to denote the duty re- 
quired by the revenue act, without effectu- 
ally cancelling and obliterating the same in 
the manner required by law. 

Attention is particularly called to the fol- 
lowing extract from section 155, of the act 
of June 30, 1864, as amended by the act of 
July 13, 1866 : 

"If any person shall wilfully remove or 
cause to be removed, alter or cause to be al- 
tered, the cancelling or defacing marks on 
any adhesive stamp, with intent to use the 
same, or to cause the use of the same, after 
it shall have been used once, or shall know- 
ingly or wilfully sell or buy such washed 
or restored stamps, or offer the same for 
sale, or give or expose the same to any per.

son for nse, or knowingly nse the same or 
prepare the eame with intent for the fur- 
ther nse thereof, or If any person shall 
knowinsly and without lawful excuse ^the 
proof whereof shall lie on the person accus- 
ed) have in his possession any washed, re- 
stored, or altered stamps, which have been 
removed from any vellum, parchment, pa- 
per, instrument or writing ; then, and in 
every such case, every person so offending, 
and every person knowingly and wilfully 
aiding, abetting, or assisting in committing 
any such offence as aforesaid, shall, on con- 
viction thereof, * * * be punished by 
a fine not exceeding one thousand dollars, 
or by imprisonment and confinement to 
hard labor not exceeding five years, or both, 
at the discretion of the court." 

It is not lawful to record any instrument, 
document, or paper required by law to be 
stamped, or any copy thereof, unless a 
stamp or stamps of the proper amount have 
been affixed and cancelled in the manner 
required by law ; and such instrument or 
copy and the record thereof are utterly null 
and void, and cannot be used or admitted as 
evidence in any court until the defect has 
been cured as provided in section 15S. 

All willful violations of the law should be 
reported to the United States District Attor- 
ney within and for the district where they 
are committed. 

GENERAL EEMARKS. 

Revenue stamps may be used indiscrimi- 
nately upon any of the matters or things 
enumerated in Schedule B, except proprie- 
tary and playinf' card stamps, for which a 
special use has oeen provided. 

Postage stamps cannot be used in pay- 
ment of the duty chargeable on instru- 
ments. 

The law does not designate which of the 
parties to an instrument shall furnish the 
necessary stamp, nor does the Commission- 
er of Internal Revenue assume to determine 
that it shall be supplied by one party rather 
ihan by another ; but if an instrument sub- 
ject to stamp duty is issued without having 
the necessary stomps affixed thereto, it can- 
not be recorded, or admitted, or used in ev- 
idence, in any court, until a legal stamp or 
stamps, denoting the amount of tax, shall 
have been affixed as prescribed by law, and 
the person who thus issues it is liable to a 
penalty, if he omits the stamps with an in- 
tent to evade the provisions of the internal 
revenue act. 

The first act imposing a stamp tax upon 
certain specified instruments took effect, so 
fiir as said tax is concerned, October 1, isGi. 
The impression which seems to prevail to 
some extent, that no stamps are required 
upon any instruments issued in the States 
lately in insurrection, prior to the surren- 
der, or prior to the establishment of collec- 
tion districts there, is erroneous. 

Instruments issued in those States since 
October 1, 1862. are subject to the same tax- 
es as similar ones issued at the same time 
in the other States. 

No stamp is necessary upon an instrument 
executed prior to October 1, 1862, to make 



it admissible in evidence, or to entitle it to 
record. 

Uertiflcates of loan in which there shall 
appear any written or printed evidence of 
an amount of money to be paid on demand, 
or at a time designated, are subject to stamp 
duty as "promissory notes." 

When two or more persons join in the ex- 
ecution of an instrument, the stamp to which 
the instrument is liable under the law. may 
be affixed and cancelled by either of them ; 
and "when more than one signature is affix- 
ed to the same paper, one or more stamps 
may be affi.xed thereto, representing the 
whole amount of the stamp required for 
such signatures." 

No stamp is required on any warrant of 
attorney accompanying a bond or note, 
when such bond or note has affixed thereto 
the stamp or stamps denoting the duty re- 
quired ; and, whenever any bond or note is 
secured by mortgage, but one stamp duty is 
required on such papers — such stamp duty 
being the highest rate required for such in- 
struments, or either of them. In such case 
a note or memorandum of the value or de- 
nomination of the stamp affixed should be 
made upon the margin or in the acknowl- 
edgement of the instrument which is not 
stamped. 

Particular attention is called to the 
change in section 154, by striking out the 
words "or used ;" the exemption thereun- 
der is thus restricted to documents, &c., 
ig8-md by the officers therein named. Also 
to the changes in sections 152 and 158, by 
inserting the words "and cancelled in the 
manner required by law." 

The acceptor or acceptors of any bill of 
exchange, or order for the payment of any 
sum of money, drawn or purporting to be 
drawn in any foreign country, but payable 
in the United States, must, before paying or 
accepting the same, place thereupon a 
stamp indicating the duty. 

It is only upon conveyances of realty sold 
that convej'ance stamps are necessa?}'. A 
deed of real estate made without valuable 
consideration need not be stamped as a 
conveyance ; but if it contains covenants, 
such, for instance, as a covenant to warrant 
and defend the title, it should be stamped 
as an agreement or contract. 

When a deed purporting to be a convey- 
ance of realty sold, and stamped according- 
ly, is inoperative, a deed of confirmation, 
made simply to cure the defect, requires no 
stamp. In such case, the second deed 
should contain a recital of the facts, and 
should show the reasons for its execution. 

Partition deeds between tenants in com- 
mon, need not be stamped as conveyances, 
inasmuch as there is no sale of realty, but 
merely a marking out, or a defining, of the 
boundaries of the part belonging to each ; 
but where money or other valuable cont^id- 
eration is paid by one co-tenant to another 
for equality of partition, there is a sale to 
the extent of such consideration, and the 
conveyance, by the party receiving it, 
should be stamped accordingly. 

A conveyance of lands sold for unpaid 
taxes, issued since August 1, 1866, by the 
officers of any county, town,- or other mu- 



98 



STAMP DUTIES. 



nicipal corporation in the discharge of their 
Btrictly official duties, is exempt from 
stamp [ax. 

A conveyance of realty sold, subject to a 
mortgage, should be stamped according to 
the consideration, or the value of the prop- 
erty uriencumbered. The consideration in 
such case is to be found by adding the 
amount paid for the equity of redemption 
to the mortgage debt. The fact that one 
part of the consideration is paid to the 
mortgagor and the other part to the mort- 
gagee does not change the liability of the 
conveyance. 

The stamp tax upon a mortgage is based 
upon ihe amount it is given to secure. The 
fact that the value of the property mortgag- 
ed is less than that amount, and that conse- 
quently the security is only partial, does 
not change the liability of the instrument. 
When, therefore, a second mortgage is giv- 
en to secure the payment of a sum of mon- 
ey partially secured hy a prior mortgage up- 
on other property, or when two mortgages 
upon separate property are given at the 
same time to secure the payment of the 
same sum, each should be stamped as 
though it were the only one. 

A mortgage given to secure a surety from 
loss, or given for any purpose whatever, 
other than as security for the paj'ment of a 
deftnite and certain sum of money, is taxa- 
able only as an agreement or contract. 

The stamp duty upon a lease, agreement, 
memorandum, orcostractfor the hire, use, 
or rent of any land, tenement, or portion 
thereof, is based upon the annual rent or 
rental value of the property leased, and the 
duty is the same whether the lease be for 
one year, for a term of years, or for the 
fractional part of a year only. 

Upon every assignment or transfer of a 
mortgage, ,r stamp tax is required equal to 
that imposed upon a mortgage for the 
amount remaining unpaid ; this tax is re- 
quired upon every'such transfer in writing, 
whether there is a sale of the mortgage or 
not ; but no stamp is necessary upon the 
endorsement of a negotiable instrument, 
even though the legal efiect of such indorse- 
ment is to transfer a mortgage by which 
the instrument Is secured. 

An assignment of a lease within the mean- 
ing and intent of Schedule B, is an assign- 
ment of the leasehold, or of some portion 
thereof, by the lessee, or by some person 
claiming by, from, or under him ; such an 
assignment as subrogates the assignee to 
the rights, or some portion of the rights, of 
the lessee, or of the person standing in his 
place. A transfer by the lesso?- of his part 
of a lease, neither giving nor purporting 
to give a claim to the leasehold, or to any 
I)art thereof, but simply aright to the rents, 
&c., is subject to stamp tax as a contract 
or agreement only. 

The s:amp ta.x upon a fire insurance 
policy is based upon the prem'nim. 

Deposit notes taken by a mutual fire in- 
surance company, not as payment of pre- 
mium nor as evidence of Indebtedness 
therefor, but to be used simply as a basis 
upon which to make rateable assessments to 
meet the losses incurred by the company, 



should not be reckoned as premium in de- 
termining the amount of stamp taxes upon 
the policies. 

When a policy of insurance properly 
stamped has been issued and lost, no st.imp 
is necessary upon another issued by tlie 
same company to the same party, covering 
the same property, time, &c., and designed 
simply to supply the loss. The second 
policy should recite the loss of the first. 

An instrument which operates as the re- 
newal of a jiolicy of insurance, is subject to 
the same stamp tax as the policy. 

When a policy of insurance is Issued for 
a certain time, whether it be for one year 
only or for a term of years, a receipt for 
premium, or any other instrument v.'hich 
has the legal effect to continue the contract 
and extend its operation beyond that, tune, re- 
quires the same amount of revenue stamps 
as the policy itself; but such a receipt as 
is usually given for the payment of the 
monthly, quarterly, or annual premium, is 
not a renewal within the meaning of the 
statute. The payment simply prevents the 
policy from expiring, by reason of non-per- 
formance of its conditions ; a receipt given 
for such a payment requires a two-cent 
stamp, if the amount received exceeds 
twenty dollars, and a two-cent stamp only. 
When, however, the time ot payment has 
passed, and a tender of the premium is not 
sutticieut to bind the company, but a new 
policy or a new contract in some form, with 
the mutuality essential to every contract, 
becomes necessary between the insurer and 
the insured, the same amount of stamps 
should be used as that required upon the 
original policy. 

A permit issued by a life insurance com- 
pany changing the terms of a policy as to 
travel, restdence, occupation, ifcc, should 
be stamped as a contract or agreement. 

A bill single or a bill obligatory, i. «., an 
instrument in the form of a promissory 
note, under seal, is subject to stamp duty 
as written or printed evidence of an amount 
of money to be paid on demand or at a 
time designated, at the rate of five cents 
for each one hundred dollars or fractional 
part thereof. 

A waiver of protest, or of demand and 
notice, written upon negotiable paper and 
signed by the indorser, is an agreement, 
aiid requires a five-cent stamp. 

A stamp duty of twenty-five cents is im- 
posed upon the "protest of every note, bill 
of exchange, check or draft," and upon 
every marine protest. If several notes, 
bills of exchange, drafts, &c.. are protest- 
ed at the same time and all attached tonne 
and the same certificate, stamps slumkl be 
affixed to the amount of twenty-five cents

When, as is generally the case, the cap- 
tion to a deposition contains other certifi- 
cates in addition to the jurat to the affida- 
vit of the deponent, such as a certificate 
that the parties were or were not notified, 
that they did or did not appear, that they 
did or did not objei-t, &c., it is subject to

process Is nsedbya sheriff or other person 
iu making persoual service, or iu attaching 
property, a five-cunt i-tamp should be attix^ 
ed to the certificate of attestation. 

A marriage certificate issued by the offl 
ciating clergyman or magistrate, to be re- 
turned to any officer of a State, county, city, 
town, or other municipal corporation, to 
constitute part of a public record, requires 
no stamp; but if it is to be retained by 
the parties, a five-cent stamp should be af- 
fixed. 

The stnmp tax upon a bill of sale, by 
which any ship or vessel, or any part there- 
of, is conveyed to or vested in any other 
person or persons, is at the same rate as 
that imposed upon conveyances of realty 
sold; a bill of sale of any other personal 
property should be stamped as a contract 
or agreement. 

An assignment of real or personal prop- 
c-tj', or of both, for the benefit of creditors, 
should be stamped as an agreement or con- 
tract. 

Written or printed assignments of agree- 
ments, bonds, notes not negotiable, and 
of all other instruments the assignments 
of which are not particularly specified in 
the foregoing schedule, should be stamped 
as agreements. 

No stamp is necessary upon the registry 
of a judgment, even though the registry is 
such in Its legal effect as to create a lien 
which operates as a mortgage upon the 
property of the judgment debtor. 

When a "power of attorney or proxy for 
voting at any election for officers of any 
incorporated company or society, except 
religions, charitable, or literary societies, 
or public cemeteries," is signed by sever- 
al stockholders, owning separate and dis- 
tinct shares, it is, in its legal efi"ect, the 
separate instrument of each, and requires 
stamps to the amount if ten cents for each 
and every signature ; one' or more stamps 
maybeusedreprescuting the whole amount 
required. 



A notice from landlord to tenant to 
quit possession of premises requires no 
stamp. 

A stamp tax is imposed upon every 
"manifest for custom-house entry or clear- 
ance of the cargo of any ship, vessel, or 
steamer for a foreign port." The amount 
of this tax in each case depends upon the 
registered tonnage of the vessel. 

If a vessel clears in ballast and has no 
cargo w'hatever, no stamp is necessary ; 
but if she has any-however small the amount 
— a stamp should be used. 

A bond to convey real estate requires 
stamps to the amount of twenty-five cents. 

The stamp duty upon the probate of a 
will, or upon letters of administration, is 
based upon the sworn or declared value of 
all the estate and efiects, real, personal, 
and mixed, undiminished by the debts of 
the estate for or in respect of which such 
probate or letters are applied for. 

When the property belonging to the es- 
tate of a person deceased, lies under dif- 
ferent jurisdictions and it becomes neces- 
sary to take out letters in two or more 
places, thi- letters should be stamped ac- 
cording to the value of all the property, real, 
personal, and mixed, for or in respect oi 
which the particular letters in each case 
are issued. 

Letters de bonis non should be stamped 
according to the amount of property re- 
maining "to be administered upon thereun- 
der, regardless of the stamps upon the orig- 
inal letters. 

A mere copij of an instrument is not sub- 
ject to stamp duty unless it is a certified 
one, in which case a five-cent stamp should 
be affixed to the certificate ot the person 
attesting it ; but when an instrument is 
executed and issued in duplicate, triplicate, 
Ac, as in the case of a lease of two or more 
parts, each part has the same legal eft'ect as 
the other, and each should be stamped as 
an original.

liVLES FOR DETECTING COUNTERFEIT BANK NOTES. 



103 



Infallible Rules for Detecting Counterfeit or 
Spurious Bank Notes. 



RuLB 1st.— Examine the shading of the 
letters in title of IJank called lathework, 
wbich iu genuine notes presents an even, 
straight, light and silky appearance, gen- 
erally so fine and smooth as to appear to be 
all in one solid, pale body. In the counter- 
feit the lines are coarse and irregular, and 
in many of the longer lines breaks will be 
perceived, thus presenting a very inferior 
finish in comparison to genuine work. 

2d.— Observe the dies, circles and ovals 
in the genuine ; they are composed of a 
network of lines, which, by crossing each 
other at certain angles, produce an endless 
variety of figures ; see thk one cent stamp 
ATTACHED. The fine line alone is the 
unit which enables you to detect spurious 
work. In the counterfeit, the represented 
white lines are coarse, irregular, and cross 
each other in a confused, irregular manner, 
thus producing blurred and imperfect 
figures. 

3d.— Examine the form and features of 
all human figures on the note. In the gen- 
uine, the te.xture of the skin is represented 
by fine dots and lines intermixed. In the 
eyes, the pupil is distinctly visible, and the 
white clearly seen ; the nose, mouth and 
chin, well formed, natural and expressive; 
the lips are slightly pouting, and the chin 
Vi'ell thrown out; and the delicate shading 
of the neck perfectly harmonizes with the 
rest of the figure. Observe the fingers and 
toes ; they should be clearly and accurately 
defined. The hair of the head should show 
the fine strands and present a natural ap- 
pearance. The folds of the drapery of hu- 
man figures should lay natural and present 
a fine, finished appearance. In the counter- 
feit the female figure does not bear the 
natural prominence in outlines ; observe, 
the eyes and shading surrounding does not 
present the lifelike appearance it should. 
The fins^'ers and toes are not properly and 
proportionately defined ; the hair does not 
bear that soft and finished appearance as in 
the genuine. 

4th. — Kxamine the imprint or engraver's 
names in the evenness and shape of the 



fine letters. Counterfeits never bear the 
imprint perfect. This rule should be strict- 
ly observed, as it is infallible in detecting 
counterfeits. 

5th.— In the genuine note the landscapes 
are well finished : trees and shrubs are 
neatly drawn ; the limbs well proportioned, 
and the foliage presenting a fine natural 
appearance ; clear sky is formed of fine 
parallel lines, and when clouds or heavy 
skies appear, they cross each other, and 
bear a soft, smooth and natural appear- 
ance. The perspective, showing a view of 
the surrounding country, is always clear 
and distinct. The small figures in the 
background are aUyjjys plainTy seen, and 
their outlines and'general character re- 
cognized. Ships are well defined and the 
canvass has a clear texture ; railroad cars 
are very accurately delineated ; in examin- 
ing a train observe carefully the car most 
distant. In the counterfeit the landscape 
is usually poorly executed ; the leaves of 
trees poorly and unnaturally defined.— 
The lines representing still water are 
scratchy rather than parallel, the sky is 
represented generally in like manner, and 
where rolling clouds are to be seen, the 
unnatural effect is obvious. Domestic 
animals are generally poorly executed, 
particularly the head and limbs ; the eyes 
are seldom clearly defined. Ships are 
poorly drawn, the texture of the canvass 
coarse and inferior in style of workman- 
ship, thus giving an artificial appearance. 
Railroad cars are Also poorly executed ; the 
car farthest fiom the eye is usually the 
most imperfect. The perspective is always 
impei'fect, the figures iu the background 
can seldom be recognized. 

6th.— Bills altered from a smaller to a 
higher denomination, can readily be de- 
tected by a close observer, in consequence 
of the striking diflerence between the parts 
which have been extracted and the rest of 
the note. This difference is readily per- 
ceived in the lack of color, body and finish 
of the dye; we have seen bills where the 
surrounding shading in altered dies was 



104 



HOW TO SUCCEED IN BUSINESS. 



too dark, but from the back or finish of the 
white lines you have a sure test. Again 
observe particularly the vf orda " Five " or 
" Ten Dollars " as the case may be, denot- 
ing the denomination of the note ; the 
parallel outlines and shading (if any) are 
coarse and imperfect. Alterations are fre- 
quently made by pastinj' a greater denomi- 
nation over a smaller, out by holding the 
bill up to the light, the fraud will be per- 
ceived. Another method resorted to is to 
cut out the figures in the dies as well as 
the words one dollar, or the words two or 
three as the case may be, and with a sharp 
eraser, scrape down the ends and also the 
edges of the pieces to be inserted ; when 
the pieces thus i^repared are affixed they 
are hardly perceivable ; but by passing 
the note through the hand, so as to feel 
the die both with the finger and thumb 
at the same time, the fraud will be de- 
tected by the stiffness of the outer 
edges, " occasioned by the gum or method 
adopted" in affixing the parts. The letter 
S should always be examined, as in many 
alterations it is pasted or stamped at the 
end of the word " dollar;" and even when 
stamped there, the carrying out of the out- 
lines for its shading will readily show the 
fraud. Bills of broken banks are frequent- 
ly altered by extracting the name of bank, 
state and town ; they may readily be de- 



tected by observing first the state, second 
the title or name of the bank, third the 
town or location. 

General Remarks in Reference to 
Counterfeits. — The paper on which they 
are printed is generally of a very inferior 
quality, with less body, finish and tough- 
ness than bank note paper has. The ink 
generally lacks the rich luster of the gen- 
uine ; the red letters and figures are gen- 
erally imperfect, and the ink does not pre- 
sent the Vermillion hue as it should. The 
printing is generally inferior, usually ex- 
hibiting specks of white in the most promi- 
nent letters. The date and filling up, and 
the President's and Cashier's names are 
generally written by the same person, 
although in many instances they present 
a diflierent appearance. There are bills in 
circulation bearing either genuine dies or 
vignettes ; but upon close examination 
you will be enabled to detect any spurious 
bill, whether counterfeit or altered, by the 
instructions here given, if persevered in for 
a short time. We beg to suggest, it time 
will admit, the learner should examine 
minutely every bill he receives. A pow- 
erful pocket magnifying glass, which can 
be purchased for from fifty cents to one dol- 
lar at any of the opticians, will greatly en- 
able you to see and comprehend the dift'er- 
ence between genuine and spurious work. 



HOW TO SUCCEED IN BUSINESS. 



What will my readers give to know how 
to get rich ? Now, I will not vouch that 
the following rules will enable every per- 
son who may read; them to acquire wealth ; 
but this I will answer for, that if ever a 
man does grow rich by honest means, and 
retains his wealth for any length of time, 
he must practice upon the prmciples laid 
dbwn in the following essay. The re- 
marks are not original with me, but I 
strongly commend mem to the attention 
of every young man, at least as affording 
the true secret of success in attaining 
wealth. A single perusal of such an essay 
at an impressible moment, has sometimes 
a very wonderful efiect upon the disposi- 
tion and character. 

Fortune, they say, is a fickle dame— full 
of her freaks and caprices; who blindly 
distributes her favors without the slightest 
discrimination. So inconstant, so waver- 
ing is she represented, that her most faith- 
ful votaries can place no reliance on her 
promises. Disappointment, they tell us, 
is the lot of those who make ofierings at 



her shrine. Now, all this is a vile slander 
upon the dear blind lady. 

Although wealth often appears the result 
of mere accident, or a fortunate concur- 
rence of favorable circumstances without 
any exertion of skill or foresight, yet any 
man of sound health and unimpaired mind 
may become wealthy, if he takes the prop- 
er steps. 

Foremost in the list of requisites are 
honesty and strict integrity in every trans- 
action of life. Let a man have the reputa- 
tion of being fair and upright in his deal- 
ings, and he will possess the confidence of 
all who know him. Without these qualities 
every other merit will prove unavailing. 
Ask concerning a man, " Is he active and 
capable?" Yes. "Industrious, temper- 
ate and regular in his habits ? "—Oh yes. 
"Is he honest? Is he trustworthy?" 
Why, as to that, I am sorry to say that he 
is not to be trusted ; he needs watching ; 
he is a little tricky, and will take an undue 
advantage, if he can. "Then. I will have 
nothing to do with him," will be the in- 



now TO SUCCEED m business. 



105 



variable reply. Why, then, is honesty the 
best policy ? Because, without it, you will 
get a bad name, and everybody will shun 
you. 

A character for knavery will prove an in- 
surmountable obstacle to success in al- 
most every undertaking. It will be found 
that the straight line is, in business, as in 
geometrj', the shortest. In a word, it is 
almost impossible for a dishonest man to 
acquire wealth by a regular process of bus- 
iness, because he is shunned as a depreda- 
tor upon society. 

Needy men are apt to deviate from the 
rule of integrity, under the plea that ne- 
cessity knows no law ; they might as well 
add that it knows no shame. The course 
is suicidal, and by destroying all confidence, 
ever keeps them immured in poverty, 
although they may possess every other 
quality for success in the world. 

Punctuality, which is said to be the soul 
of business, is another important element 
in the art of money getting. The man 
known to be scrupulously exact in the ful- 
fillment of his engagements, gains the 
confidence of all, and may command all 
the means he can use with advantage : 
whereas, a man careless and regardless of 
his promises in money matters will have 
every purse closed against him. Therefore 
be prompt in your payments. 

Next, let us consider the advantages of 
a cautious circumspection in our inter- 
course with the world. Slowness of be- 
lief and a proper distrust are essential to 
success. The credulous and confiding are 
ever the dupes of knaves and impostors. 
Ask those who have lost their property 
how it happened, and you will find in 
most cases that it has been owing to mis- 
placed confidence. One has lost by en- 
dorsing, another by crediting, another 
by false representations ; all of which a 
little more foresight and a little more dis- 
trust would have prevented. In the af- 
fairs of this world men are not saved by 
faith, but by the want of it. 

Judge of men by what they do, not by 
what they say. Believe in looks rather 
than words. Observe all their movements. 
Ascertain their motives and their ends. 
Notice what they say or do in their un- 
guarded moments, when under the influ- 
ence of excitement. The passions have 
been compared to tortures which force men 
to reveal their secrets. Before trusting a 
man, before putting it in his power to 
cause you a loss, possess yourself of every 
available information relative to him. 
Learn his history, his habits, inclinations 
and propensities ; his reputation for honor, 
industry, fruga ity and punctuality; his 
prospects, resources, supports, advantages 
and disadvantages ; his intentions and mo- 
tives of action; who are his friends and 
enemies, and what are his good or bad qual- 
ities. You may learn a man's good qualities 
and advantages from his frieuds— his bad 
qualities and disadvantages from his ene- 
mies. Make due allowance for exaggeration 
in both. Finally, examine carefully before 
engaging in anything, and act with energy 
afterwards. Have the hundred eyes of 



ArgxiB beforehand, and the hundred hands 
of Briarius afterwards. 

Order and system in the management of 
business must not be neglected. Nothing 
contributes more to dispatch. Have a 
place for everything and everything in its 
place ; a fime for everything, and every- 
thing in its time. Do first what presses 
most, and having determined what is to be 
done, and how it is to be done, lose no 
time in doing it. Without this method all 
is hurry and confusion, little or nothing is 
accomplished, and business is attended to 
with neither pleasure nor profit. 

A polite, aflTable deportment is recom- 
mended. Agreeable manners contribute 
powerfully to a man's success. Take two 
men, possessing equal advantages in every 
other respect, but let one be gentlemanly, 
kind, obliging and conciliating in his man- 
ners ; the other harsh, rude and disobliging; 
and the one will become rich, while the 
other will starve. 

We are now to consider a very important 
principle in the business of money-getting, 
namely — Industry — persevering, indefati- 
gable attention to business. Persevering 
diligence is the Philosopher's stone, which 
turns everything to gold. Constant, regu- 
lar, habitual and systematic application to 
business, must in time, it properly directed, 
produce great results, it must lead to 
wealth, with the same certainty that pov- 
erty follows in the train of idleness and 
inattention. It has been truly remarked 
that he who follows his amusements in- 
stead of his business, will, in a short time, 
have no business to follow. 

The art of money-saving is an important 
part of the art of money-getting. Without 
frugality no one can become rich ; with it, 
few would be poor. Those who consume 
as fast as they produce, are on the road to 
ruin. As most of the poverty we meet 
with grows out of idleness and extrava- 
gance, so most large fortunes liave been 
the result of habitual industry and frugali- 
ty. The practice of economy is as neces- 
sary in the expenditure of time as of 
money. They say if " we take care of the 
pence the pounds will take care of them- 
selves." So. if we take care of the 
minutes, the days will take care of them- 
selves. 

The acquisition of wealth demands as 
much self-denial, and as many sacrifices 
of present gratification, as the practice of 
virtue itself. Vice and poverty proceed, in 
some degree, from the same sources, 
namely— the disposition to sacrifice the 
future to the present ; the inability to fore- 
go a small present pleasure for great future 
advantages. Men fail of fortune in this 
world, as they fail of happiness in the 
world to come, simply because they are un- 
willing to deny themselves momentary en- 
joyments for the sake of permanent future 
happiness. 

Every large city is filled with persons, 
who, in order to support the appearance of 
wealth, constantly live beyond their in- 
come, and make up the deficiency by 
contracting debts which are never paid. 
Others, there are, the mere drones of so-

ciety, who pass their days in idleness, and 
subsist by pirating on the hives of the in- 
dustrious. Many who run a short lived 
career of splendid beggary, conld they be 
but persuaded to adopt" a "system of r'v^xA 
economy for a few years, mi^'ht' pass the 
remainder of their days in affluence. But 
no ! They must keep up appearances, 
they must live like other folks. 

Their debts accumulate ; their credit 
fails; they are harassed by duns, and be- 
sieged by constables and sheriff. In this 
extremity, as a last resort, they submit to 
a shameful dependence, or engage in crim- 
inal practices which entail hopeless wretch- 
edness and infamy on themselves and 
families. 



Stick to the business in which you are 
regularly employed. Let speculators make 
thousands in a year or a day ; mind your 
own regular trade, never turning from it 
to the right hand or to the left. If you are 
a merchant, a professional man, or a me- 
chanic, never buy lots or stocks, unless 
you have surplus money which you wish 
to invest. Your own business you under- 
stand as well as other men ; but other peo- 
ple's business you do not understand. 
Let your business be some one which is 
useful to the community. All such occu- 
pations possess the elements of profit in 
themselves. 



How to Secure the Public Lands, 

OR THE ENTRY OF THE SAME UNDER THE PRE-EMPTION AND HOMESTEAD 

LAWS. 



The following circular gives all necessary 
information as to the procedure necessary 
in purchasing and securing the public 
lands : 

Department of the Intekiob, I 

Gen'l Land Office, July 19, 1865. ) 

Numerous questions having arisen as to 
the mode of procedure to purchase public 
lands, or acquire title to the same by bounty 
land locations, by pre-emptions or by home- 
stead, this circular is communicated for the 
information of all concerned. 

In order to acquire title to public lands 
the following steps must be taken : 

1. Application must be made to the Reg- 
ister of the district land office in which the 
land desired may be situated. 

A list of all the land offices in the United 
States is furnished by the Department, 
with the seats of the different offices, 
where it is the duty of the Register and 
Receiver to be in attendance, and give 
proper facilities and information to persons 
desirous of obtaining lands. 

The minimum price of ordinary public 
lands is |il,2,5 per acre. The even or re- 
served sections falling within railroad 
grants are increased to double the minimum 
price, being $2,.50 per acre. 

Lands once offered at public sale, and not 
afterwards kept out of market by reserva- 
tion, or otherwise, so as to prevent free 
competition, may be entered or located. 

2. By the applicant filing with the Regis- 
ter his written application describing'the 



tract, with its area ; the Register will then 
certify to the receiver whether the land is 
vacant, with its price ; and when found to 
be so, the applicant must pay that price 
per acre, or may locate the same with land 
warrant, and thereafter the Receiver will 
give him a "duplicate receipt," which he 
18 required to surrender previous to the 
delivery to him of the patent, which may 
be had either by application for it to the 
Register or to the General Land Office. 

3. If the tract has not been oft'ered at 
public sale it is not liable to ordinary pri- 
vate entry, but may be secured by a party 
legally qualified, upon his compliance with 
the requirements of the pre-emption laws 
of 4th September, 1841, and 3d March, ltU3; 
and after such party shall have made ac- 
tual settlement for such a length of time 
as will show he designs it for his perma- 
nent home, and is acting in good faith, 
building a house and residing therein, he 
may proceed to the district land office, es- 
tablish his pre-emption claim according to 
law, by proving his actual residence and 
cultivation, and showing that he is other- 
wise within the purview of these acts. — 
Then he can enter the land at $1,25, cither 
in cash or with bounty land warrant, unless 
the premises should be $a,.50 acre lands. 
In that case the whole purchase-money can 
be paid in cash, or one-half in cash, the 
residue with a bounty land warrant. 

4. But if parties legally qualified desire 
to obtain title under the Homestead Act 
of 20th May, 1862, they can do so on com-

107 



plying with the Department Circular, dated 
30th October, 1862. 

5. The law confines Homestead entries 
to surveyed lands; and although, in cer- 
tain States and Territories noted in the sub- 
joined list, pre-emptors may go on land be- 
fore survey, yet they can only establish their 
claim after return of survey, but must file 
their pre-emption declaration within three 
months after receipt of official plat, at the 
local land-office where the settlement was 
made before survey. Where, however, it 
was made after survey, the claimant must 
file within three months after'date of set- 
tlement ; and where actual residence and 
cultivation have been long enough to show 



that the claimant has made the land his 
permanent home, he can establish his 
claim and pay tor the same at any time 
before the date of the public sale of lands 
within the range in which his settlement 
may fall. 

6. All unoffered surveyed lands not ac- 
quired under pre-emption, homestead, or 
otherwise, under express legal sanction, 
must be offered at public sale under the 
President's Proclamation, and struck ofi'to 
the highest bidder, as required by act of 
April 24, 1820.

LAW MAXIMS. 



1 . A promise of a debtor to give " satis- 
factory security" for the payment of a por- 
tion of his debt, is a sufficient considera- 
tion for a release of the residue by his 
creditor. 

2. Administrators are liable to account

subject of his agency, to communicate such 
information. 

4. When a house is rendered untenanta- 
ble in consecjuence of improvements made

self from it. 

5. When a merchant ship is abandoned 
by order of the master, for the purpose of

7. An agreement by the holder of a note 
to give the principal debtor time for pay- 
ment, without depriving himself of the 
right to sue, does not discharge the surety.

time of sale, the note of a thiid party, not 
endorsed by the buyer, in payment, can- 
not in case the note is not paid, hold the 
buyer responsible for the value of the 
goods.

20. An action for malicious prosecution 
will lie, though nothing farther was done 
than suing out warrants. 

21. An agreement not to continue the 
practice of a profession or business in any 
specified town, if the party so agreeing has 
received a consideration for the same, is 
valid. 

22. When A consigns woods to B to sell

in payment of his own antecedent debts, A 
can recover their value.

pal corporation from maintaining a nuisance 
on its lands. 

26. A discharge under the insolvent laws 
of one State will not discharge the insol- 
vent from a contract made witn a citizen of 
another State. 

2T. To prosecute a party with any other 
motive than to bring him to justice, is 
malicious prosecution, and actionable as 
such. 

28. Ministers of the gospel, residing in 
any incorporated town, are not exempt 
from jury, military, or Are service. 

29. When a person contracts to build a

formed, if such part is beneficial to the 
other party. 

30. In a suit for enticing away a man's 
wife, actual proof of the marriage is not ne- 
cessary. Cohabitation, reputation, and the 
admission of marriage by the parties, are

made by a mortgagor after the execution of 
the mortgage upon land conveyed by it, be- 
come a part of the mortgaged premises.

36. The opinions of witnesses, as to the 
value of a dog that has been killed, are not 
admissible in evidence. The value of the

the land of another, he is liable for trespass 
whether the owner has sustained injury or 
not. 

38. If a person, who is unable from ill- 
ness to sign his will, has his hand guided 
in making his mark, the signature is valid. 

39. When land trespassed upon is occu- 
pied by a tenant, he alone can bring the 
action. ^ 

40. To say of a person, "Ifhe does not 
come and make terms with me, I will make 
a bankrupt of him and ruin him," or any 
such threatening language, is actionable,

making the complaint must prove the words 
alleged J other words of like meaning will 
not suffice. 

42. In a suit of damages for seduction, 
proof of pregnancy, and the birth of a child, 
is not essential. It is sufficient if the ill- 
ness of the girl, whereby she was unable to 
labor, was produced by shame for the seduc- 
tion ; and this is such a loss of service as 
will sustain the action. 

43. Addressing to a wife a letter contain- 
ing matter defamatory to the character of 
her husband is a publication, and renders 
the writer amenable to damages. 

44. A parent cannot sustain an action for 
any wrong done to a child, unless he has in- 
curred some direct pecuniary injury there- 
from ill consequence of some loss of ser- 
vice or expenses necessarily consequent 
thereupon. 

45. A master is responsible for an injury 
resulting from the negligence of his ser- 
vant, whilst driving his cart or carriage, 
provided the servant is at the time engaged 
in his master's business, even though the 
accident happens in a place to which his 
master's business does not call him ; but if 
the journey of a servant be solely for a pur- 
pose of his own, and undertaken without 
the knowledge and consent of his master, 
the latter is not responsible. 

46. An emigrant depot is not a nuisance 
in law. 

47. A railroad track through the streets is 
not a nuisance in law.

48. In an action for libel against a newB- 
paper, extracts from such newspaper may 
be given to show its circulation, and the 
extent to which the libel has been published. 
The jury, in estimating the damages, are 
to look at the character of the libel, and 
whether the defendant is rich or poor. The 
plaintiff is entitled, in all cases, to his ac- 
tual damages, and should be compensated 
for the mental sufferings endured, the pub- 
lic disgrace inflicted, and all actual discom- 
fort produced. 

4!». Delivery of a husband's goods by a 
wife to her adulterer, he having knowledge 
that she has taken them without her hus- 
ijand's authority, is sufticient to sustain an 
indictment for larceny against the adul- 
terer. 

50. The fact that the insurer was not in- 
formed of the existence of impending liti- 
gation, affecting the premises insured, at 
the time the insurance was efl'ected, does 
not vitiate the policy. 

51. The liability of an innkeeper is not 
confined to personal baggage, but extends 
to all the property of the guest that he con- 
sents to receive. 

52. When a minor executes a contract, 
and pays money, or delivers property on the 
same, lie cannot afterwards disaffirm such

erty, unless he restores to the other party 
the consideration received from him for 
Buch money or property. 

53. When a person has, by legal inquisi- 
tion been found an habitual drunkard, he 
cannot, even in his sober intervals, make 
contracts to bind himself or his property, 
until the inquisition is removed. 

54. Any person dealing with the repre- 
sentative of a deceased person, is presumed, 
in law, to be fully apprized of the extent of 
such representative's authority to act in 
behalf of such estate. 

55. In an action against a railroad com- 
pany, by a passenger, to recover damages 
for injuries sustained on the road, it is not 
compulsory upon the plaintiff to prove ac- 
tual negligence in the defendants ; but it 
is obligatory on the part of the latter to 
prove that the injury was not owing to any 
fault or negligence of theirs. 

56. A guest is a competent witness, in an 
action between himself and an inn-keeper, 
to prove the character and value of lost 
personal baggage. Money in a trunk, not 
exceeding the amount reasonably required 
by the traveler to defray the expenses of 
the jouniey which he has undertaken, is a 
part of his baggage ; and in case of its loss, 
while at any inn, the plaintiff may prove its 
a.mount by his own testimony. 

57. The deed of a minor is not absolutely 
void. The court is authorized to judge, 
from the instrument, whether it is void or 
not, according to its terms being favorable 
or unfavorable to the interests of the minor. 



58. A married woman can neither sue nor 
be sued on any contract made by her dur- 
ing her marriage, except in an action relat- 
ing to her individual property. The action 
must be commenced either by or against 
her husband. It is only when an action 
is brought on a contract made by her be- 
fore her marriage, that she is to be joined 
as a co-plaintiff, or defendant, with her hus- 
band. 

59. Any contract made with a person ju- 
dicially declared a lunatic is void. 

60. Money paid voluntarily in any trans- 
action, with a knowledge of the facts, can- 
not be recovered. 

61. In all cases of special contract for ser- 
vices, except in the case of a minor, the 
plaintiff" can recover only the amount stip- 
ulated in the contract. 

63. A wife is a competent witness with 
her husband, to prove the contents of a lost 
trunk, or when a party. 

63. A wife cannot be convicted of receiv- 
ing stolen goods when she received them 
of her husband. 

64. Insurance against fire, by lightning or 
otherwise, does not cover loss by lightning 
when there is no combustion. 

65. Failure to prove plea of justification, 
in a case of slander, aggravates the ofl'euce. 

66. It is the agreement of the parties to 
sell by sample that constitutes a sale by 
sample, not the mere exhibition of a speci- 
men of the goods. 

67. An agent is liable to his principals 
for loss caused by his misstatements, tlio' 
unintentional. 

68. Makers of promissory notes given in 
advance for premiums on policies of insur- 
ance, thereafter to be taken, are liable there- 



69. An agreement to pay for procuring an 
appointment to office is void. 

70. An attorney may plead the statute of 
limitations, when sued by a client for mon- 
ey which he has collected and failed to pay 
over. 

71. Testimony given by a deceased wit- 
ness on first trial, is not required to be re- 
peated verbatim on the second. 

72. A person entitling himself to a reward 
offered for lost property, has a lien upon the 
property for the reward ; but only when a 
definite reward is ofl'ered. 

73. Confession by a prisoner must be vol- 
untarily made, to constitute evidence against 
him. 

74. The defendant in a suit must be serv- 
ed with process ; but service of such pro- 
cess upon his wife, even in his absence from 
the StatCj is not, in the absence of statuto- 
ry provisions, sufficient.

75. The measure of damaees in trespasB 
for cutting timber, is its viuue as a chattel 
on the land where it was felled, and not the 
market price of the lumber manufactured. 

Tfl. To support an indictment for mali- 
cious mischief in killing an animal, mal- 
ice towards its owner must be shown, not 
merely passion excited against the animal 
itself. 

77. No action can be maintained against 
a sheriff for omitting to account for money 
obtained upon an execution within a reas- 
onable time. He has till the return day to 
render such account. 

78. An interest in the profits of an enter- 
prise, as profits, renders the party hold- 
ing it a partner in the enterprise, and 
ma'kes him presumptively liable to share 
any loss. 

79. Males can marry at fourteen, and fe- 
males at twelve years of age. 

80. All cattle found at large upon any pub- 
lic road, can be driven by any person to the 
public pound. 

81. Any dog chasing, barking, or other- 
wise threatening a passer-by in any street, 
lane, road, or other public thoroughfare, 
may be lawfully killed for the same. 

82. A written promise for the payment 
of such amount as may come into the hands 
of the promisor, is held to be an instru- 
ment in writing for the payment of money. 

83. The declaration of an agent is not ad- 
missible to establish the fact of agency.— 
But when other proper evidence is given, 
tending to establish the fact of agency, it 
is not error to admit the declarations of the 
agent, accompanying acts, though tend- 
ing to show the capacity in which he act- 
ed. When evidence is competent in one 
respect and incompetent in another, it is 
the duty of the court to admit it, and con- 
trol its effects by suitable instructions to 
the jury. 

84. The court has a general power to re- 
move or suspend an attorney for such im- 
moral conduct as rendered him unworthy 
of confidence in his official capacity. 

85. Bankruptcy is pleadable in bar to all 
actions and in all courts, and this bar may 
be avoided whenever it is interposed, by 
showing fraud in the procurement of the 
discharge, or a violation of any of the pro- 
visions of the bankrupt act. 

86. An instrument in the form of a deed, 
but limited to take effect at the termination 
of the grantor's natural life, is held to be a 
deed, not a will. 

87. A sale will not be set aside as fraud- 
ulent, simply because the buyer was at the 
time unable to make the payment agreed 
upon, and knew his inability, and did not 
intend to pay. 

88. No man is under an obligation to 
make known his circumstances w-nen he is 
buying goods. 



89. Contracting parties are bound to dis- 
close material facts known to each, but of 
which either supposes the other to be i[;uo- 
rant, only when they stand in some sperial 
relation of trust and confidence in relation 
to the subject matter of the contract. But 
neither will be protected if he does any- 
thing, however slight, to mislead or deceive 
the other. 

90. A contract negotiated by mail is 
formed when notice of acceptance of the of- 
fer is duly deposited in the post-office, pi-o- 
perly addressed. This rule applies, although 
the party making the offer expressly re- 
quires that if it IS accepted, speedy notice 
of acceptance shall be given him. 

91. The date of an instrument is so far a 
material part of it, that an alteration of 
the date by the holder after execution, 
makes the instrument void. 

92. A corporation may maintain an action 
for libel, for words published of them and 
relating to its trade or business, by which 
it has incurred special damages. 

9.3. It is unprofessional for a lawyer who 
has abandoned his case without trying it, 
a term or two before trial, to claim a fee 
conditional upon the success of his client, 
although his client was successful. 

94. Although a party obtaining damages 
for injuries received through the default of 
another, was himself guilty of negligence, 
vet that will not defeat his recovery, unless 
his negligence contributed to cause the in- 
jury. 

95. A person may contract to labor for an- 
other during life, in consideration of receiv- 
ing his support ; but his creditors have the 
right to inquire into the intention with 
which such arrangement is made, and it will 
be set aside if entered into to deprive them 
of his future earnings. 

96. A grantor may by express terms ex- 
clude the bed of a river, or a highway, 
mentioned as boundary ; but if without 
language of exclusion a line is described as 
' along,' or ' upon,' or as ' running to ' the 
highway or river, or as 'by,' or ' running to 
the bank of the river; these expressions 
carry the grantee to the center of the high- 
way or river. 

97. The court will take pains to construe 
the words used in a deed in such a way as 
to eftect the intention of the parties, how- 
ever unskillrtilly the instrument may be

an intelligible word plainly employed in a

99. When a wife leaves her husband vol- 
untaril)', it must be shown, in order to 
make him liable for necessaries furnished 
to her, that she could not stay with safety. 
Personal violence, either threatened or in- 
flicted, will be sufficient cause for such sep- 
aration. 

100. Necessaries of dress furnished to a 
discarded wife must correspond with the 
pecuniary circumstances of the husband, 
and be such articles as the wife, if prudent, 
would expect, and the husband should 
furnish, if the parties lived harmoniously 
together. 

101. A fugitive from justice from one of the 
United States to another, may be arrested 
and detained in order to his surrender by 
authority of the latter, without a previous 
demand for his surrender by the executive 
of the State whence he fled. 

102. A watch will not pass under a be- 
quest of '• wearing apparel," nor of 
" household furniture and articles for fami- 
ly use." 

103. Money paid for the purpose of set- 
tling or compounding a prosecution for a 
supposed felony, cannot be recovered back 
by a party paying it. 

104. An innkeeper is liable for the death 
of an animal in his possession, but may free 
himself from liability by showing that the 
death was not occasioned by negligence on 
his part. 

105. Notice to the agent of a company is 
notice to the company. 

106. An employer is not liable to one of 
his employees foran injury sustained by the 
latter in consequence of the neglect of oth- 
ers of his employees engaged m the same 
general business. 

107. Where a purchaser at a Sheriff's sale 
has bid the full price of property under 
the erroneous belief that the sale would di- 
vest the property of all liens, it is the duty 
of the court to give relief by setting aside 
the sale. 

108. When notice of protest is properly 
sent by mail, it may be sent by the mail of 
the day of the dishonor ; if not, it must be 
mailed for the mail of the next day ; ex- 
cept that if there is none, or it closes at an 
unseasonably early hour, then notice must 
be mailed in season for the next possible 
mail. 

109. A powder-house located in a populous 
part of a city, and containing large quanti- 
ties of gunpowder, is a nuisance. 

110. When the seller of goods accepts at 
the time of the sale, the note of a third per- 
son, unindorsed by the purchaser, in pay- 
ment, the presumption is that the pay- 
ment was intended to be absolute ; and 
though the note should be dishonored, the 
purchaser will not be liable for the value of 
the goods. 



111. A man charged with crime before a 
committing magistrate, but discharged on 
his own recognizance, is not privileged 
from arrest on civil process while returning 
from the magistrate's office. 

112. When one has been induced to sell 
goods by means of false pretences, he can- 
not recover them from one who has bona 
fide purchased and obtained possession of 
them from the fraudulent vendor. 

113. If the circumstances attendant upon 
a sale and delivery of personal property are 
such as usually and naturally accompany 
such a transaction, it cannot be declared a 
legal frau4 upon creditors. 

114. A stamp impressed upon an instru- 
ment by way of seal, is good as a seal, if it 
creates a durable impression in the texture 
of the paper. 

115. If a party bound to make a payment 
use due diligence to make a tender, but 
through the payee's absence from home is 
unable to find him or any agent authorized 
to take payment for him, no forfeiture will 
be incurred through his failure to make a 
tender. 



Government Land Measure. 

A township, 36 sections, each a mile 
square. 

A section, 640 acres. 

A quarter section, half a mile square, 
160 acres. 

An eighth section, half a mile long, north 
and south, and a quarter of a mile wide, 80 
acres. 

A sixteenth section, a quarter of a mile 
square, 40 acres. 

The sections are numbered from one to 
thirty-six, commencing at the northeast 
corner, thus :

The sections are all divided in quarters, 
which are named by the cardinal points, 
as in section one. The quarters are divi-

a 40 acre lot would read : The south half 
of the west half of the southwest quarter 
of section 1 in township 24, north of range 
7 west, or as the case might be ; and some- 
times will fall short, and sometimes overrun 
the number of acres it is supposed to con-

DECIMAL SYSTEM OF WEIGHTS AND MEASUBES. 



THE DECIMAL SYSTEM 



OF 



WEIGHTS AND MEASURES. 

As Aitliorized by Act of Congress-Approved Inly 28. 1866. 



STANDARDS. 

In every system of Weights and Measures 
it is necessary to have what are called 
" Standards,'' as the pound, yard, gallon, 
&c., to be divided and multiplied into 
smaller and larger parts and denominations. 
The definition and construction of these 
Standards involve philosophical and scien- 
tific principles of a somewhat abstruse 
character, and are made and procured by 
the legislative department of the govern- 
ment. The nominal Standards in the new 
system are the Meter, the Are, the Liter, 
and the Gram. The only 7ral Standard, the 
one by which all the other standards are 
measured, and from which the system de- 
rives its name of " Metric," is the Meter. 

THE METER 

Is used for all measures of length, distance, 
breadth, depth, heighth, &c., and was in- 
tended to be, and is very nearly, one ten- 
millionth of the distance on the earth's 
surface from the equator to the pole. It is 
about 39>i inches, or 3 feet, 3 inches and 
3 eighths, and is to be substituted for the 
yard. 

THE ARE 

Is a surface whose side is ten Meters, and 
is equal to 100 square Meters or about 4 
square rods. 

THE LITER 

Is the unit for measuring solids and capa- 
ity, and is ec^ual to the contents of a cube 
whose edge is one-tenth of a meter. It is 
about equal to 1 quart, and is a standard in 
cubic, dry and liquid measures. 



I^F" A cubic Meter (or Kiloliter) is called 
a stere, and is also used as a standard in cer- 
tain cubic measures. 

THE GRAM 

Is the Unit of weighty and is the weight of 
a cube of pure water, each edge of the cube 
being one one-hundredth of a Meter. It is 
about equal to 15X grains. It is intended 
as the Standard in au weights, and with its 
divisions and multiples, to supersede the 
use of what are now called Avoirdupois, 
Apothecaries and Troy Weights. 

Each of the foregoing Standards is divi- 
ded decimally, and larger units are also 
formed by multiples of 10, 100, &c. The 
successive subordinate parts are designa- 
ted by the prefixes Deci, Centi and Milli ; 
the successive multiples by Deka, Hecto, 
Kilo and Myria ; each having its own nu- 
merical signification, as will oe more clear- 
ly seen in the tables hereinafter given. 

The terms used may, at first sight, have 
a formidable appearance, seem difficult to 
pronounce, and to retain in memory, and to 
be, therefore, objectionable; but with a lit- 
tle attention and use, the apprehended dif- 
ficulty will be found more apparent than 
real, as has been abundantly proved by ex- 
perience. The importance, also, of con- 
formity in the use of commercial terms, on 
the part of the United States, with the 
practice of the many nations in which the 
system, with its present nomenclature, has 
already been adopted, must greatly over- 
balance the comparatively slight objection 
alluded to.

Representatives of the United Stat£s of Ameri- 
ca in Congress assembled, That from and af- 
ter the passage of this act, it shall be law- 
ful throughout the LTuited States of Ameri-

of the metric system. 

Sec. 2. And be it further enacted. That 
the tables in the schedule hereto annexed, 
shall be recognized in the construction of 
contracts, and in all legal proceedings, as 
establishing, in terms of the weights and 
measures now in use in the United States, 
the equivalents of the weights and meas- 
ures expressed-therein in terms of the me- 
tric system ; and said tables maybe lawful-

Bl8«oiittt ««td Premium. 

When a person buys an article for $1,00— 
20 per cent off, (or discount,) and sells it 
agaiti for $^l-,Oft, he makes a profit of 25 per 
cent, on his investment. Thus : He pays 
80 cents and sells for |n,00— a gain of 20 
cents, or )JS per cent of 80 cents. And for 
any transaction where the sale or purchase 
of gold, silver, or currency is concerned, 
the fdllowing rules will apply in all cases. 

RuLB Ist.— To find premium when dis- 
count is given: Multiply 100 by rate of 
disfccunt and divide by 100, less rate of dis- 
cotint. 

aiuLB 2d.— To find discount when pre- 
mium is given. Multiply the rate of interest 
t)y 100, and divide by 100, plus the rate of 
premium. 

Suppose A has $140 in currency, which 
he wishes to exchange for gold, when gold 
is 27 per cent, premium, now much gold 
should he receive ? In this case the pre- 
mium is given, consequently we must find 
the discount on A's currency and subtract 
it from the $140, as per rule 2d, showing 
the discount to be a trifle more than 21 per 
cent, and that he should receive $110,00 in 
gold.

H 



In large cities nothing Is more common 
than to see large business establishments, 
which seem to have aa immense advantage 
over all competitors, by the wealth,, expe.- 
rience, and prestige; they have acquired, 
drop gradually out of public view, and be 
succeeded by firms of a smaller capital, 
more energy, and more determined to have 
the fact that they sell, such and such com- 
modities knownfrom one end of the land.to 
the other. la other words, the establishx 
ments advertise ;: the old die of digaity.— 
The former are ravenous to pass out of obr 
scurity into, publicity; the. latter believe 
that their publicity is so obvious that it 
cannot be obscured. The first understand 
that they must thrust themselves upon 
public attention, or be disregarded; the 
second,, having once obtained public attenr 
tion, siippose they have arrested it perma- 
nently; while, in fact, nothing is more-char-^ 
acterieticof the world than the ease with 
which it forgets. . 

Stephen Girard, than whom no shrewder 
business man ever lived, used to say: I 
have always considered advertising liberr 
ally and long to be the great medium of 
success in business, and the irrelude to 
wealth. And I have made it an Ihvariabla 
rule- too, to advertise in the dallest times 
as well as the busiest ; long experience 
having taught me that money thus spent* is 
well laid out ; as by peeping- my business 
continually before the public it has secured 
me many sales^thatl Would ©tharwise hav.3 
lost.

Brilliant Wliitewash. 

Many have heard ot the brilHant stucco 
•whitewash on the ea^-t did- of the Presi- 
■. dent's house at Washmg.ton.- The follow- 
. ing is a recipe for it ; it is gleaned from the 
>^»tional Intelligencer, with sotrre addi- 
tional improvements learned hy experi- 
ments : Take half a bushel of nice un- 
slacked lime, slack it with boiling water, 
cover it during the process to keep in the 
steam. Strain the liquid . throi>gh a finiS 
sieve or strainer, and add to it a j)eck of 
salt, previously well dissolved in wairm^ wa- 
ter ; three pounds of ground rice, boiled to 
a thin paste, and stirred in boiling hot ; bailf 
a pound of powdered Spanish whiting, aind 
a pound of dean glue, which lias been pTe- 
viously dissolved by soaking it well, a;nd 
then hanging it over a slow lire, in a small 
kettle within a large one filled with water. 
Add live galleus of hot water to the mixture, 
stir it well, and let it stand a few days cov- 
ered from the dirt. 

It should be put on ri^ht hot ; for this 
purpose it can be kept in a kettle on a 
I)ortable furnace. It is said that -about a 
pint of thisjcixtare will cover a square 
yard upon the outside of a house if proper- 
ly applied. Brushes more or less suiall may 
be used according to the neatness of the job 
required. It answers as well as oil paint 
for wood, brick or stone, and is cheaper. 
It retains its brilliancy for many years. 
There is nothing ot the kind that will 
compare with it, either for iuside or outside 
walls. 

Coloring matter may be put in and made 
of any shade you like. Spanish broyvn 
stirred in will make red pink, more or less 
deep according to the quantity, A delicate 
tinge of this is very pretty, for inside walls. 
Finely pulverized common clay, well mixed 
with Spanish brown, makes a reddish stone 
color. Yellow-ochre stirred in makes yel- 
low wash, but chrome goes further, and 
makes a color generally esteemed prettier. 
In all these cases the darkness of the shades 
of course is determined by the quantity of 
coloring used. It is difficult to make rules, 
because tastes are different. It would be 
best to try experiments on a shingle and let 
it dry. We have been told thfit green must 
not be mixed with lime. Tlie lime de- 
stroys the color, and the color has an effect 
on the whitewash, which makes it crack 
and peel. When walla have been badly 
smoked, and you wish to have them a clean 
white, it is well to squeeze iudigo plenti- 
fully through a bag into the water you use, 
before it is stirred in the whole mixture. 
If a larger quantity than five gallons be 
wanted, the same proportion should be ob- 
served. 



How to get a Horse out of a 
Fire. 

The great difficulty of gettius: horses from 
a stable where surrounding buildings are in 
a state of conflagation, is well kiiown. — 
The plan of covering their eyes witha blan- 
ket will not always succeed. 

A gentleman whose horses have been in 
great peril from such a cause, having tried 



in vain to save them, hit upon the expedi- 
ent of having them harnessed as though go- 
ing to their usual work; when, to his aston- 
ishment, they were led from the stable 
v;ithout diffi-iulty. 



The' Cliemic^I Bajrometer. 

Take a long narrow bottle, such as an old- 
fa-shioiied Eau-de-Cologne bottle, and put 
into it two and a haW drachms of camphor, 
and eltvcti drachms of spirits of wine ; 
when the camphor i« dissolved, which it 
will readily do by slight agitation, add the 
foilowing mixture : Take water, nine 
drachms";- nitrate of potash (saltpetre) 
thirty-Tsighli grains ; aTid muriate of am- 
moni-a (s*i ammoniac) thirty-eight grains. 
Dissolve these salts in the water prior to 
mixing with the camjrfiorated spirit ; then 
shake the whole well together. Cork the 
bottfe well, and wax the top, but after- 
wards ma-ke a very small aperture in the 
cork wish a red-hot needle. The bottle may 
then b« hung up, or placed in any stationa- 
ry positk)n. By observing the dili'erent 
appe^arances which the materials assume, 
as the Weather changes, it becomes an ex- 
cellent pfognosticato* of * coming storm' or 
of a sunny sky. 



Leech Barcrnieter. 

Take an eight ounce phial, and put in it 
three gills of water, aind place in it a healthy 
leech, changing the vrater in summer once 
a week, and in winter once in a fortnight, 
and it will most accurately prognosticate 
the weather. If the weather is "to be line, 
the leech lies motionless at the bottom of 
the glass and coiled together in a spiral 
form; if rain may be expected, it v/ill creep 
up to the top of its lodgings and remain 
there till the weather is settled ; if we are 
to have wind, it will move through its habi- 
tation with amazing swil'tiiess, and seldom 
goes to rest till it l>egins to blow hard : if a 
remarkabkt storm nf thunder and rain is to 
succeed, it will lodge for some days before 
almost continually out of the water, and 
discover great uneasiness in violent throes 
and convulsive-like motions ; in frost as in 
clear summer-like weather it lies constantly 
at the bottom; and in snow as in rainy 
weather it pitches its dwelling in the very 
mouth of the pbial. The top should be cov- 
ered over with a piece of muslin. 



To Me.^sure Grain in a Bin.— Find the 
number of cubic feet, from which deduct 
one-fifth. The remainder is the number of 
bushels — allowing, however, one bushel 
extra to every 2i4. Thus in a remainder of 
'2'J4 there would be 2:i5 bushels. In a re- 

I mainder of 418 there would be 4.50 bushels, 

j&c.

iicabits oi a Man ot Buslnesis. 

A Bacred reijard to the principles oi justice 
form? ttie basis ol every transaction, and 
roLTUiaies liie conduct of the uprigtit man of 

Dusiness. 

He is strict in Ijeeping his engagements. 
Does nothing carelessly or in a hurry. 
Employs no one to do what he can easily 
do himself. 

Keeps everything in its proper place. 

Leaves nothing undone that ought to be 
done, and which circumstances permit him 
to do. 

Keeps his designs and business from the 
view of others. 

Is prompt and derisive with his custom- 
ers, and does not overtrade his capital. 

Prefers short credits to long ones, and 
cash to credit at all tirae8, either in buying 
or sellintr ; and small profits in credit cases, 
with little risk to the chance of better gains 
with more hazard. 

He is clear and explicit in all his bar- 
gains. 

Leaves nothing of consequence to memo- 
ry which he can and ought to commit to 

writing. 

Keeps copies of all his important letters 
whicli he sends away, and has every letter, 
invoice, &c., relating to his business, titled, 
classed, and put away. 

Never suffers his desk to be confused by 
many papers lying upon it. 

Is always at the head of his business, 
well knowing that if he leaves it it will 
leave him. 

Holds it as a maxim that he whose credit 
is suspected is not one to be trusted. 

Is constantly examining his books, and 
sees through his whole affairs as far as care 
and attention will enable him. 

Balances regularly at stated times, and 
then makes out and transmits all his ac- 
counts current to his customers, both at 
home and abroad. 

Avoids as much as possible all sorts of 
accommodation in money matters and law- 
suits where there is the least hazard. 

He is economical in his expenditures, al- 
ways living within his income. 

Keeps a memorandum book in his pock- 
et, in which he notes every particular rela- 
tive to appointments, addresses, and petty 
cash matters. 

Is cautious how he becomes surety for 
any person ; and is generous when urged 
by motives of humanity. 

Let a man act strictly to these habits ; 
when once begun they w"ill be easy to con- 
tinue — ever remembering that he hath no 
profits by his pains whom Providence doth 
not prosper— and success will attend his 
efforts. 

Take pleasure in your business, and it 
will become your recreation. 

Hope for the beat, think for the worst, 
and bear whatever happens. 



A Stokt with a Moral. — A Connecticut 
exchange tells the following story of a boy 
who was sent from Croton, Conn., to New 
London, one day last summer, with a bag 
of corn. The boy was gone all day, and re- 
turned:with the bag unopened, which he 
dumped on the floor. Said he — 

'• There is your corn, go and sell it, fori 
can't." 

" Sold any ? " 

" No : I've been all over London with it, 
and nobody said a word concerning green 
com. Two or three fellows asked me what 
I had in my bag, and I told 'em it was none 
of their business what it was." 

The boy is not unlike hundreds of mer- 
chants who will promptly call him a fool 
for not tellin": what he had to sell, and who 
are actually ffoing the same thing on a much 
larger scale than did the boy, by not adver- 
tising their business. 

To Those who Write for the Press. — 
It would be a great favor to editors and 
printers, should those who write for the 
Press observe the following rules. They 
are reasonable, and our correspondents 
will regard them as such:— 1. Write with 
black ink on white paper, wide ruled. 2. 
Make the pages small, one-fourth that of a 
foolscap sheet. 3. Leave the second 
page of each sheet blank. 4. Give to the 
written page an ample margin all around. 
5. Number the pages in the order of their 
succession. 6. Write in a plain bold hand, 
with less respect to beauty. 7. Use no ab- 
breviations which are not to appear in 
print. 8. Punctuate the manuscript as it 
should be jjrinted. 9. For italics under- 
score one line ; for small capitals two ; for 
capitals three. 10. Never interline without 
the caret to show its place. 11. Take special 
pains with every letter in proper names. 
12. Review every word to be sure that none 
is illegible. 1.3. Put directions to the print- 
er at the head of the first page. 14. Never 
write a private letter to the editor on the 
printer's copy, but always on a separate 
sheet. 



Cash and Credit.— If you would get rich 
don't deal in bill books. Creditis the "tempt- 
er in a new shape." Bu3' goods on trust, 
and you will buy a thousand articles that 
Cash would never have dreamed of. A shil- 
ling in the hand looks larger than ten shil- 
lings seen through the perspective of a three 
months bill. Cash is practical, while Credit 
takes horribly to taste and romance. Let 
Cash buy a dinner, and you will have beef- 
steak flanked with onions. Send Credit to 
market, and he will return with eight pair 
of woodcocks and a peck of mushrooms. — 
Credit believes in diamond pins and cham- 
pagne suppers. Cash is more easily satis- 
fied. Give him three meals a day, and he 
don't care much if two of them are made up 
of roasted potatoes and a little dirty salt.— 
Cash is a good adviser, while Credit is a 
good fellow to be on visiting terms with. 
If you want double chins and contentment, 
do business with cash.

OUR IMPROVl SELF-RAKE FOR XM. 

m m 

The following testimonials show conclusively that our Self-Rake 
for 1868, fully meets every requirement of the most fastidious far- 
mer, and is fully warranted to give perfect satisfaction. 

Head tvhat the Rural New YovTzer says r 

We find in the Rural New Yorker, published at Rochester, N. 
Y., on the 7th of Sept., 1867, the following testimonial from the 
Editor: 

IMPROVED AUTOMATIC RAKE FOR OODOE'S HARVESTER. 

" During a recent visit to Auburn, we accepted an invitation 
from Col. Dodge, President of the Dodge & Stevenson Manufac- 
turing Co., to witness atrial of their Automatic Rake for Dodge's 
Harvester — they having added some very important improvements 
to the style of the rake hitherto used. These consist of four inde- 
pendent rakes, so constructed as to allow all of them to be in use 
for reeling on the grain, or by a slight movement of the hand or 
foot, causing either rake to rake off the cut grain, in any sized gavels 
required. These additions overcome the defect&heretofore existing 
in it, and make it perfect for its work, and will, in addition to its 
other good qualities, leave few if any improvements to. be desired 
in this machine. 

"The trial took place on the farm of Jno. W. Aiken, in the town of 
Scipio, Cayuga Co., and was witnessed by many farmers and other 
spectators. The grain cut was heavy oats, very ripe, lodged in 
spots, and the straw badly crinkled down and twisted together. — 
There was also a heavy sprinkling of Canada thistles in the grain, 
and some spots on which, evidently, water had stood after sowing 
in the spring, where the straw was short and thin. On the east 
side of the field the grain leaned very much towards the machine, 
and the wind blew freshly from the southwest. The ground was in 
good condition for the machine to travel on, the surface being 
slightly rolling. Three to four acres were cut while we were in the 
field — the work being done in a very satisfactory manner. The 
rake, which also reels, worked easily and without apparent clumsi- 
ness, and delivered the gavels in fine condition for binding, clear of 
the track, whenever the driver slightly pulled a cord. No ad- 
justments were made or needed in the field, and no difficulty or 
impediment was met with in the lodged, thin or leaning grain. 
Several farmers present drove around the field by turns, and all con- 
curred in the opinion expressed by an agent of a^ rival machine, 
who, after driving around, remarked : — ' It does the best work of 
any Self-Rake I ever saw.' "

This is truly one of the Greatest Inventions of the many which are con- 
stantly brought before the public. 
It does away with the Short Wniffietrees, and makes a lighter, better and cheaper Even- 
er than any now in use. This is no humbug, but an invention gotten up on sound sci- 
entilic principles. We cordially invite all to call and examine for themselves, as a prac- 
tical working test is the best evidence we can offer for its superiority over any other 
now in use. Mechanics, liverymen and farmers are all kindly invited to see and test the 
practical workings of this Evener; and to see is to be convinced. Town and Farm 
Rights for sale.

TO THE TPL^^IDE. 

The mulersignecl, in introducing their Spokes and Hubs more generally to the public, 
beg leave to submit the following statement : 

At great expense we have made ourselves ready to answer the constantly iucreasiug 
demand for our work. Our manufactory is located at Moravia, Cayuga County, N. Y., 
a vicinity early cleared and settled and noted for the choiceness of its timber. That used 
by us is thoroughly seasoned, second grovvtli Hickory, Oak and Ironwood, and we are 
careful to select that which has grown in exposure to the sun, rejecting snch as is found 
in thickly wooded or otherwise shaded localities, whereby we secure material of the 
closest, stfongeM and smoothest Jibre. 

Our spoke machinery is new and of the latest invention, fashioning each spoke into 
perfect symmetry and making each one of a given size the exact counterpart of every 
other. The worlcs are under our own immediate supervision, as well as that of Mr. Nel- 
son Pcrrigo, who has for several years past made the business a specialty, and we confi- 
dently say that our spokes, both as to quality of timber and superiority of finish, are 
not and cannot be surpascd by any. 

We intend to give our customers a first rate article at a ftiir price, thus making our 
dealings mutually profitable, and establishing for ourselves a permanent reputation as 
ottering the best wares in market at reasonable rates. 

Spokes can be made of a/ii/ required size. They are securely put up in setts of sixty 
each, (with two extra ones iu each sett) and are delivered at the depot in Auburn, Cort- 
land, Iloiner or Ithica. 

We are also prepared to furnish Carriage, Wagon, Omnibus and Dray Hubs in any 
desired size or quantity, made from the best stick. 

We shall very soon enlarge our facilities so as to embrace steaming and bending in all 
its l)ranches, and it is our purpose, as soon as practicable, to manufacture evei-y article 
of wood work (except boxes) used in malvin^ Carriatres and Wagons, 

These spokes were first publicly exhibited at the last New York State Fair, at BufTalo 
taking the First Premium over all competitors. ' 

The^ Press of this State has given them many unsolicited favorable notices. The fol- 
lowing is taken from the Roclwster Democrat oi Oct. 11th, 18ti7. 

■• The best exhibition of Carriage and Wagon Spokes was by Titus & Selover, Mora- 
via, N. Y. For choiceness of timber and elegance of finish nothing could compare with 
them. So well pleased were carriage makers who examined them, that the ao-ent was 
constantly engaged in taking orders. No carriage maker will attempt to shave his spokes 
after using these. They wore formerly manufactured by N. Perrigo, at Moravia. Mr. 
PeriiiTO is now foreman and agent for the company." 

Like articles have also appeared in the Auburn Advertiser, Syracuse Journal Buffalo 
Courier. Cayuga Couulij Courier, rfv., cCr. '

THE KIEBY AS A MOWER. 



The main parts of the Kirby Mower are, a strong cast iron frame •vvhich cannot shrink 
or swell, on which the gearing is carried, a finger-bar of wrought iron of such a shape as 
to secure perfect stiffness and strength, and a knife or cutter-bar of steel. 

The driver sits with perfect security astride the seat, having the team under easy con- 
trol, and the cutting apparatus forward immediately under his eye. The frame and in- 
ner end of the finger-bar are balanced and raised by the weight of the driver alone, a 
slight lifting by the right foot in the stirrup being all that is necessary to effect this. By 
a lever at the right hand, the outer end of the bar is easily raised. 

The independent action (joint) which every mower must have to allow it to pass flexi- 
bly and easily over elevations and obstructions, is in theframe of the Kirby Mower, or 
rather in the connection between the frame and the drive-wheel, and this joint in the 
frame answers the same purpose far more effectually and economically than the joint in 
the finger-bar of two-wheeled machines. 

Among the improvements for the year 1868, we would especially call attention to our 
new grooved finger bar, and the method of attaching the guards to it. The bar is rolled 
in such a shape as to render it very light and very strong. The guards are very firmly 
attached by one bolt. There is a long grooved piece attached very firmly fer the head 
of the cutter bar to slide in, so there is assured a perfect freedom of motion at this im- 
portant point, where, in nearly all other machines breakages are constantly occurring. 
We can now, with all confidence, warrant the Kirby Mower not to clog in any kind of 
grass, wet or dry, and to work as lightly and easily both for team and driver, as any 
other well-tried first class .Mower in the market. 



THE KIKBY AS A REAPER. 

Whatever advantages may be claimed for the two-wheeled, machine when used as a 
Mower, they all disappear when it is attempted to convert it into a Reaper. The flexi- 
bility of the machine then becomes a glaring disadvantage, and the number of wheels on 
the ground make it impossible to worK it with ease or safety. 

The Kirby Reaper (easily changed from the Mower in a few minutes) has one drive- 
wheel and a grain wheel, which are the only bearing points on the ground. Between 
these, the frame, platform, reel and the cutting apparatus are rigidly suspended and car- 
ried without the least vibration or flexibility. 

The cutters always work freely, and the machine in passing over depressions or ele- 
vations, suffers no more strain than a cart or sulky. 

The driye-wheel and ";rain-wheel being so wide apart (over 7 feet) the Kirby Reaper 
can be used on steep side-hills where an empty lumber wagon would turn over. 

The raker's seat is placed near the cutters, and a little in the rear of them, so that the 
raker, without any extraordinary exertion, can gather the grain into a well-shaped gavel 
and bring it oft' with an easy sweep of his anna. 

We make a castor wheel for the grain side of the platform this year. 

From the well-founded experience of many years, we feel warranted in asserting that 
there is no Reaper in the world that for ease> of work and durability will compare with 
the Kirby. 



The Kirtoy as a Sell^Makiiag Reaper. 

A Self-Rake that will take the place of the Reel, as well as of a man to rake off by 
band, has been a want long felt by the ferming community. To reach over and into 
very tall grain and to gather up the short grain, and the tangled and down grain, and bring 
it on the platform in good condition for raking oft', is something the ordinary reel can- 
not accomplish. A rake is therefore needed, with two or three of its arms made adjust- 
able so as to reach down and forward, that can take up the tangled grain, bear it against 
the cutters and on the platform, while another arm with rake-head attached may sweep 
it off. The Reel Self-Rake answers the above requirements ; it is worked by simple, 
light gearing from the drive-wheel, it is furnished with four wings carried around a ver- 
tical axis, two or three of which, as the driver pleases, bear the beaters or arms which 
bring the grain on the platform, and the other one or two carry the rake. head. The rake 
is made to run continuously or not, at the discretion of the driver. 

The gavels may be delivered at every 10, 20, 30, or 40 feet, according to the thickness 
of the grain. 

The improvements put upon the Reel Self-Rake this season, we are confident, will 
commend it to all who will give it a trial, and prove it to be, in every point necessary 
to test its efliciency, a Perfect Self-Rake.

The Grindstone is adjustable to any desired angle, and slides the length of the 
frame, while the knife or cutter bar is secured to a swinging frame in such a position to 
the Stone, that every section of the knife can be accurately ground to a uniform bevel 
with great facility. 

This invention overcomes the great difficulty experienced in sharpening Reaper 
Knives, and must soon come into general use by all farmers using Machines.

STILL CONTINUE TO MANUFACTURE THE 

HUSSEY PATEi^T 




And with the man^' improvements added to it from time to time, as careful experience 
has Buggeeted, they now offer it to farmers as the 

Best Grain, Grass and Clover Harvester in Use. 

It is Li^lit, Stroi, DiiraWe anl HaMy ; las lo M Draft, 

And has the least Direct Draft of any machine in use, cnttino; the same width of 

swath. It mows in any kind of Grass, and on any kind of ground, 

fully equal to the best, and as a Reaper, 

H^S I^TO EQUAL ! 

©Mr MaeSfiiaies are very Shiiple ini Coitstriie- 
tion, liig^lit, ^troiig^ and BiBrabfle, 

And we warrant them to do good work as Mowers, In any kind of Grass, wet, damp, 

or dry, and warrant them to do better work on rough and uneven ground, 

than any other Machine in use, and warrant them 

To be the Best Grain and Clover Seed Harvester in the World. 

We warrant them, both in Mowing and Reaping, to he perfectly free from Side-Draft, 
and warrant them to have 



Than any other Machine built, cutting the same width of swath. 

We warrant them also, when in order, to either Mow or Reap well with the slowest 
possible Motion vou can give them with a team, and warrant them to have strength 
sufficient to be drove to cut twenty acres per day. 

The Hussey Combined Reaper and Mower is no experiment, but an old and well- 
tried stand-by of many years' standing, of many of our best practical farmers, and 
wherever known is acknowledged to be the best Combined Mower and Reaper, in every 
respect, in the world. It Mows, it Reaps, it Rakes, and does it all with less machinery, 
less liability of getting out of order, and less liability of breaking down than any other 
Machine built, and for" these reasons it is just what every practical farmer needs. 

So please call at our Manufactory on Mechanic street, first door south of the old 
Beardsley, (now Selover's) Mills, and examine the many superior advantages our ma- 
chines possess over all others, before buying some other kind, and you will oe convinc- 
ed thiit what we eay is no humbug.

PUBLISHEE'S NOTICES. 



PUBLISHER'S NOTICES. 



The New York Central Insu- 
rance Oo., located at Union Springs, is 
doing a prosperous and successful bnsinees. 
It is a local institution, and we believe is 
largely patronized by the farmers and oth- 
ers of Cayuga, as well as of adjoining coun- 
ties. They have a capital of $100,000, with 
a surplus of $65,000. The Board of Direc- 
tors is composed of several of the leading 
men of the County. This fact alone shouM 
inspire confidence in the minds of all. See 
card, page 156. 

D. H. Scboonmaker, Oyster Deal- 
er, No. 7 North street, Auburn, advertises 
on paee 160. He is supplied from the 
largest dealers in the country, and can fur- 
nish customers to order with Oysters in 
the shell, keg, can or solid measure. 

Hayden JBrotliers, Proprietors of 
the Retail Woolen Mills, at Port Byron, 
have long been celebrated as being manu- 
factuiers of durable and reliable goods. 
The establishment was started in 1824 as a 
small local custom mill. Since then the 
greatly increased business has called for 
extensive additions and improvements 
which have been made ; and to-day their 
cloth is known and worn in every county 
in the State and every State in the Union. 
They use only the best qualities of wool, 
entirely free from waste or shoddy, and em- 
ploy only experienced and careful work- 
men, who strive to maintain the good 
reputation their goods have ever borne 
among their retail customers. It is hardly 
necessary for us to advise the farmers or 
business men of Cayuga County to pur- 
chase their cloth. The_y are doubtless all 
well acquainted with its merits already. 
See their card, page 206. 

A. T. Walley & Co., Drnggiets and 
Apothecaries, cor. Genesee and State Sts., 
Auburn, keep all varieties of pure drugs 
and medicines, all the leading and popular 
Patent Medicines, pure Wines, Liquors 
&c., which they are anxious to sell at the 
lowest market rates. Call and see them. 
Card on page 160. 

S. H. Barrett, Plumber, Gas and 
Steam Fitter, No. 8 State street. Auburn, 
attends to all kinds of work in his line 
with dispatch and at reasonable rates. 
See card on page 160. 

C. Ij. RouUfds & Co., of New Hope, 
manufacture Horse Rakes, Wheelbarrows, 
&c., at wholesale and retail. See card, 
page 142. 

A. G. Wheeler, Dealer In Boots and 
Shoes, at No. 8 East Genesee St., Auburn, 
has a fine store well stocked with good 
goods in his line, as may be learned by ref- 
erence to his advertisement on page 140.— 
His illustrated rebus is instructive, and 
doubtless will afford amusement and profit 
to mti.ny ,—amuseinent in deciphering the 
puzzle, and profit in learning where to pur- 
chase good goods for a little monev. 



Mrs. A. C. Bentley, Fashionable 
Milliner, over 55 Genesee St., Auburn, ad- 
vertises on page 142. She does good work, 
keeps good goods and is bound to please 
her customers. Give her a trial. 

Mrs. P. A. Fuller, at Moravia, is a 
Milliner of deserved popularity. Her cus- 
tomers come from all the adjoining towns, 
and at home her reputation is of the best. 
She keeps a good assortment of goods, and 
will strive to please all who favor her with 
their patronage. See card, page 142. 

The Dodge & Stevenson Manu- 
facturing Co., at Auburn, manufactur- 
ers of Dodge's Patent Mowers, and Mowers 
and Reapers, advertise on page 136 and 137. 
This establishment is one of the largest of 
the kind in the country, and their machines 
are owned by thousands of farmers all over 
the country, who can testify to their many 
excellent qualities. 

The Reapers have a eelf-raking attach- 
ment, BO simple and effectual in their ope- 
ration, as apparently to almost preclude 
the further improvement in this direction. 
For further particulars we refer the reader 
to pages 44 and 45. 

The "Western Hotel, at Port Byron, 
formerly under the proprietorship of J. 
W. McLean, has recently passed into the 
bands of Howard Brothers, who we have 
no doubt will keep up the good reputation 
of the house. See advertisement, page 
158. 

Mrs. li. A. Denlson, photographer, 
at Port Byron, prints a card on page 158. 
She thoroughly understands the business, 
and we bespeak for her a liberal patronage, 
believing all who call will be dealt with to 
their entire satisfaction. 

A. Raelsh, Marble Worker, &c., 38 
State street. Auburn, employs experienced 
artizans, and uses the best grades of foreign 
and domestic marbles to be found in the 
market. His prices will be found low as 
can be afforded for the superior quality of 
work turned out of his shop. See card, 
page 156. 

C. C Brlggs A: Co., dealers in China, 
Glass and Earthen-ware, Fancy Goods, 
Plated-ware, &c., at No. Ill Genesee St., 
Auburn, publish a card on page 150. It is 
the object of this firm to supply their cus- 
tomers with the very best goods the mar- 
ket affords, either in foreign or domestic 
manufacture. Their stock is very exten- 
sive and made up of all varieties and styles. 
We think no person can fail to be suited in 
style and quality as well as price. Our 
readers all over the county will find it to 
their interest to call and see them, when in 
want of goods in their line. 

E. li. Ford, at 66 Genesee St., Au-

<ireg:g Iron "Works, at Truman s-

Plyer & Co., successors to James A. Clapp, 
of Farmer Village, who established the 
first manufactory of Agricultural Imple- 
ments in the southern part of Seneca Co., 
about the year 1847. Gregg, Plyer & Co. 
removed to Trunmnsburgh in 1865. Dur- 
ing that year they erected a substantial and 
commodious brick building in which to 
conduct their rapidly increasing business. 
It is a two story buiidino;, 101 feet long and 
!»U feet wide. Located in the western part 
of the village, it attracts the notice of all 
coming into town from that section. At 
these works are manufactured the celebrat- 
ed Iron Mower, patented by Daniel H. 
Thayer, of Ludlowville, in Tompkins Co. 
They are celebrated for their strength, sim- 
plicity and durability. They also manu- 
facture Sharp's Patent Wheel Horse Rake, 
besides Thre«hing Machines, Clover Ma- 
chines, and other agricultural implements. 
In the various departments the Company 
work up about 500 tons of cast and wrought 
iron, and 200 tons of coal annually. 

The works are admirably conducted.— 
Only experienced and competent work- 
men, (of whom, when in full operation, 
there are about 55,) are employed, and the 
farmer who purchases a machine of this 
firm may rely on the investment's being a 
good one. See card, colored page 134.

that it has already saved and paid to its de- 
positors interest to the amount of more 
than a quarter of a million of dollars. All

O. OT. Osborne A; Co., Manufac- 
turers of the "Kirby" Mowers and Reap- 
ers, at Auburn, have one of the most ex- 
tensive establishments of the kind in the 
country. It is located on Genesee and 
Mechanic streets, and gives employment to 
a very large force of mechanics and labor- 
ers. The number of machines turned out 
annually is immense. General branch of- 
fices and warehouses for the sale of these 
machines are established in Chicago, St. 
Louis and Philadelphia. Not only are the 
machines used by the farmers of Cayuga 
Co., but they are also sold in all the North- 
ern and many of the Southern States, and 
in California, Oregon, Braziland Australia. 
We refer the reader to our article relative 
to these Works in historical sketch of Au- 
burn, page 45, and to the company's cut 
and advertisement on pages 208-9. 

TValter "Wlncli, Dealer in Stores 
and House Furnishing goods, at No. 18 
Coming Hall Block, on North street, An- 
burn, publishes a card on pao:e 212. Mr. 
Winch sells the celebrated "Ilome Com- 
forter," "Ventilator," " Perfection," and 
other first class Stoves. Also Tin, Wooden 
Ware, &c., of all kinds. We think his es- 
tablishment one of the best of the kind in 
Cayuga Co., and cheerfully recommend our 
friends to purchase of him. 

3. H. Harter, Photographer and 
dealer in Pianos, Melodeous.^itc, &c., at 
No. S3 Geneseeistreet, publishes an inter- 
esting advertisement on page 220. Mr. 
Harter is widely known as a first class ar- 
tist. His pairlors are fitted up in a superior 
style, and his aperatiug rooms are replete 
with allinstruments necessary for making 
pictures of any desired style or size. Mrs. 
Harter, a skillful colorist. gives her whole 
attention to this department, and with that 
success which adds materially to the beauty 
and finish of a picture.

ers, on Genesee street, corner of B-xchange, 
Auburn, receive deposits, on which they 
allow interest, buy and sell stocks on com-

lars in regard to their business, we reler 
the reader to their card on page 205. 

Titus & Selovers, of Moravia, are 
.extensively engaged in the manufacture of 
Spokes and Hubs, for carriages, wagons, 
omnibuses, drays, &c., from the choicest 
timber to be found in Central New York. 
Carriage makers will undoubtedly find it to 
their interest to purchase of them. 

They are also engaged in the manufac- 
ture of Flour and Feed, at the Stone Mills, 
also at Moravia, where they pay the highest 
prices in cash for all kinds of grain. See 
card, page 207. 



.Geo, B. Gillespie, Attorney and' 
Counselor at Law, and Life, Fire and 
Health Insurance Agent, at Port Byron, 
publishes cards on page 198. Mr. Gillespie 
has peculiar advantages in the way of mak- 
ing general collection*, and prosecuting 
claims against the Government. As a mem- 
ber of the Bar in Cayuga County, he stands 
high in the estimation of his fellow citizens. 
Being the representative of several first 
class Insurance Companies, he can olfer 
advantages «iperior to many others. In- 
twcsted partisB will do well to caU on him

William J Sutton, Dealer in Drugs, 

Medicines, Paints, Oils, Varnishes, Wines

Tlie Port -.O.jron Times, pub- 
lished Mondays at Port Byron, by Cyrus 
Marsh, was established in 1851 by Oliver 
T. Baird, as the Fort Byron Gazette. In 
1860 it was owned bv Beuj. Thompson, who 
sold to Wm. Hosford in 1861. In 1862 Mr. 
Marsh purchased tlie establishment, and 
the title of the paper was changed to "7'A« 
North Cayuga Tii/ies,^' which name it bore 
until within a few months past, when it was 
again changed to " ?'/« Port Byron Tiynen.'" 

Mr. Marsli is a good printer, and we be- 
lieve has succeeded in establishing his pa- 
per on a firm basis. His subscription list 
is large, and therefore makes the paper an 
invaluable advertising medium. A few 
weeks ago Mr. Marsh sKtiered the loss of 
his office by fire, yet we understand he has 
made arrangements for the continuance of 
the publication of his paper, and no doubt 
he will at an early day fit up an entirely new 
office. Whatever may be his plans, no 
doubt tlie citizens of North Cayuga will aid 
him in the way of an increased subscrip- 
tion list. See his card, page 190.

Tlie Auburn File Works, situ- 
ated on Market Street, is one of the Insti- 
tutions of Auburn. Since it came under 
the mana;jement of the present pro- 
prietor, this establishment has gained 
a wide and enviable reputation for the su- 
perior excellence of his hand-cut files and 
rasps, of which he turns out from 150 to 
200 dozen per week. He employs from 20 to 
25 of the best mechanics to be found. — 
Among the varieties turned out are all kinds 
of flat, hand, mill, round, half round, 
square, three square, slotting, knite, pit 
eavv and cabinet files and rasps, taper saw 
and extra horse rasps, from the best war- 
ranted English cast steel. Such is the re- 
putation of these Files that they are uni- 
versally adopted throughout the manufac- 
tories of Auburn, where they are consider- 
ed superior to all others. We advise all 
mill owners, machinists, and mechanics 
generally, who have not already become ac- 
quainted with their excellence, to do so 
the first opportunity. See card, page 328. 

Clapp Sc Talliuan, Liverymen, at 
Nos. 2fj and 28 Dill street. Auburn, keep a 
large number of horses and carriages, 
which they will let on the most reasonable 
terms, to parties, or excursions, or to trav- 
oling men who desire to visit any part of 
the "surrounding country. Careful drivers 
furnished when desired. Call and see their 
establishment. Card, on page 170. 

Bencli Brothers & Leonard, 

Proprietors of the Cayuga Wagon Works, 
No. 20 East Genesee street,. Auburn, pub- 
lish a card on page 171. They make a spe- 
ciality of farm and lumber wagons, sleighs, 
etc., and have gained a celebrity for e5;cel- 
lent work. They employ the best mechan- 
ics, and use only the best and most dura- 
ble timber and iron in the manufacture of 
their work. 

Interested parties will do well to call and 
examine their work. 

Dennis Brothers, Corner Genesee 
and Mechanic streets, at Aul)uru, manu- 
facturers of Elastic Stamps, have recently 
added to their establishment a large and 
well ordered Job Printing office. They 
have, at a large expense, supplied them- 
selves with new presses, and types, of all 
necessary styles and varieties, with which 
to do job printingneat and well. They also 
execute orders for Stereotyping, Litho- 
graphing, or Engraving on wood. 

ITor anything in their line we cheerfully 
recommend them to the citizens of Cayuga 
County with the belief that they will give 
entire satisfaction to their customers. See 
advertisement page 169. 

W. O. Cory, Tinsmith and Hardware 

dealer at Aurora, has the agenoyfor several 
first class stoves and furnaces equal to any

goods, or anything in his line, can hardly 
do better than purchase of him. His prices 
are always low as the market will allow.

The Reynolds' Steam Temper- 
ing ^Vorks, Reynolds, Barber & Co., 
Proprietors, at Auburn, are largely engaged 
in the manufecture of Reaper and Mower 
Knives, Plane Irons, Chisels, &c. The 
process by which they temper steel is a pe- 
culiar one, and, as patented by Mr. Rey- 
nolds, is the result of over foriy years 
labor. This gentleman always worked on 
the plan that tempering steel was simply 
changing it from a fibroug to a granular 
state. He certainly has succeeded in pro- 
ducing a finer granulation (temper) than 
has ever before been produced. Messrs. 
Reynolds, Barber & Co. control the patents 
for these processes, and are applying them 
successfully in all their manufactures. — 
Their establishment is capable of turning 
out an immense amount of work, yet their 
orders are now, and have been for some 
months, accumulating far in advance of their 
present ability to supply ; a circumstance 
which they will not long allow to be the 
case. We predict that the time is not far 
distant when all Mower and Reaper Facto- 
ries and farmers will use their improved 
sections. See their advertisement, page 6, 
and our reference to their works on page 
77. 

Rogers & Co., Grocers and Provision 
dealers, 14 and 16 East Genesee St., Au- 
burn, sell good goods at reasonable prices. 
They also have in connection with their es- 
tablishment an Eating Room, at which 
they serve up Oysters, Warm Meals, &c., 
at all hours. See card, page 164. 

T. jr. Kennedy, Painter and dealer 
in Paints, Oils, Varnishes, Window Glass, 
Sash, Blinds, Doors, &c., at 21 State St., 
Auburn, publishes a cai'd on page 164. Mr. 
Kennedy is a fair dealer, keeps good goods, 
and generally succeeds in pleasin;^ his cus- 
tomers. Those in want of Wall Papers, 
Borders, Mouldings, Picture Frames, &c., 
can be supplied at his store. 

Mrs. H. li. Smith, sells all kinds

handkerchiefs, corsets and ladies' furnish-

goods from wkich to select, and we believe 
they will find her prices entirely satisfacto- 
ry. By all means call and see her. She ad- 
vertises on page 238. 

Torrey & Hawley, Merchant Tail- 
ors, at No. 4 State street. Auburn, publish a

men desirous of being fashionably dressed

turing only the besc qualities of wool, and 
selling at such prices as would be remuner- 
ative to them and satisfactory to the con-

their factory with new and perfect machine-

operators to be found in the country. 
Their cloth has proved durable and beauti- 
ful. No shoddy or waste is used in any of 
their productions. We have understood 
from several of their customers that they 
have never used better cloth. For the con- 
venience of their customers, they have 
opened a Btore at No. 7 State St., where 
may be found all varieties of their manufac-

How to Judge a Horse. 

A correspondent, contrary to old maxims, 
undertakes to judge the character of a horse 
by outward appearances, and offers the fol- 
lowing suggestions, the result of his close 
observation and long experience : 

If the color be light sorrell, or chestnut, 
his feet, legs and face white, these are 
marks of kindness. If he is broad and full 
between the eyes, he may be depended on 
as a horse of good sense, and capable of be- 
ing trained to anything. 

As respects such horses, the more kindly 
you treat them the better vou will be treat- 
ed in return. Nor will a horse of this de- 
scription stand a whip, if well fed. 

If yon want a safe horse, avoid one that 
is dish-faced. He may be so far gentle as 
not to scare ; but he will have too much go- 
ahead in him to be safe with everybody. 



If you want a fool, but a horse of great 
bottom, get a deep bay, with not a white 
hair about him. If his face is a little dish- 
ed, so much the worse. Let no man ride 
such a horse that is not an adept in riding 
— they are always tricky and unsafe. 

If you want one that wiU never give out, 
never buy a large, overgrown one. 

A black horse cannot stand heat, nor a 
white one cold. 



If you want a gentle horse, get one with 
more or less white about the head; the 
more the better. Many persons suppose 
the parti-colored horses belonging to the 
circuses, shows, &c., are selected for their 
oddity. But the selections thus made are 
on account of their great docility and gen- 
tleness.

294 PUBLISHER'S CARD. 



FUI^I^I^tlEII^'J^ O.^IS,I>. 



Before leaving the work in which I have, for the past few months, 
been so earnestly engaged, I desire to return thanks to all w,ho 
have so kindly aided me in the effort to produce a work, which I 
confidently hope will j^rove of great value to its possessors. Those 
who have furnished information, (historical or otherwise,) for its 
pages, have my special thanks, while those who have pecuniarily 
aided in the way of subscriptions for advertising, will, I trust, re- 
ceive liberal cash dividends as the legitimate fruits thereof. Sub- 
scribers for the work it is hoped may find much that is new, in- 
structive, and valuable. 

As a parting word to my friends in Cayuga County, I would 
suggest to many of the business men, especially outside of Auburn, 
that they would find Printer'' s Ink a great lubricator of the wheels of 
business. Too many seem to have fallen into a settled apathy, as re- 
gards business matters ; willing to serve such customers as come un- 
asked to their doors, but who make no efforts to retain at home the 
large amount of trade annually diverted to the cities of Syracuse and 
Rochester. As a general thing you are not willing to admit that the 
merchants of those cities can afford to sell the same class of goods 
cheaper than you can. Their rents, taxes and clerk hire, usually 



PUBLISHER'S CARD. 295 



cost far more than yours — while your money will buy goods in mar- 
ket jus*: as cheap as theirs. Why, then, should your citizens patronize 
the merchants of those cities rather than yourselves ? In penning this 
article I can have no selfish interest in view, as my present work with 
you is accomplished. It is purely for your own interest that I sug- 
gest the propriety of your advertising more liberally. Advertise 
extensively^ and all the time — through the columns of your local 
newspapers, by hand-bills, by circulars, by cards, by every means 
you can employ. Advertise; let the people know you are alive, 
atid tha-t you have good goods, and full assortments, in your special 
lines, and that you will sell cheap as others can. And finally, if 
you keep posted as to the markets, and do as you advertise, our 
word for it, you will very soon be surprised at the increase of your 
sales. I do not mean that advertising alone will build up any busi- 
ness, or the loant of it hinder its prosperity ; but I do assert em- 
phatically, and had I time and space to do so, could prove by large 
numbers of the many thousand persons with whom I have had bus- 
iness, that, in nine cases out of ten, advertising liherally and long 
is one of the best of business investments. 

Do not be deceived by the too popular idea that "you are so 
long established, that everybody knows where you are, and what 
you have to sell," I tell you it is, on your part, a grave error. 

How many men in your county have been there but one or two 
years, or, perhaps, have just made their residence 'with you ? Of 
what benefit is your ^'long established reputation" in such a case. 
Your neighbor, perhaps, who has been in business but a few months, 
is just as well "established," in the mind of such a man, as "you," 
who boast of being "so long in business that everybody knows 
you and you know everybody." Politely speaking, you are "a?i old 
fossiV 

You will say that the new man must have some customers, and 
you will all stand your chances. Such a course will do very well 
when yuu are not anxious to increase your trade, or when you are 
quite willing to diminish it ; lor, while you are satisfied with this 
state of affairs, some m()re eiiteriyrising tradesman will reach your 



296 PVIiLISllEB'S CARD. 



would-be customer, and perhaps withdraw his patronage from your 
vilhige altogether. You should bear in mind always, that there is 
a dividing point between your village and those adjacent, and that 
the custom of citizens living near such dividing point, generally 
goes to that place which holds out the most favorable inducements. 

A friendly rivalry in advertising, by parties engaged in the va- 
rious kinds of business, is invariably noticed and commented upon 
by the masses who read, and tends to materially increase the busi- 
ness of a village. Don't be altogether selfitsh in your motives. — 
Work for the benefit of your locality, and you will surely reap 
your reward. In other words, build up your village, make it a 
center for a large strip of surrounding country. 

As mediums for advertising, you have many : First of all is 
your Local Tapers ; your Editors are all good fellows, and would 
be pleased to advise their many readers who to deal with. Try 
them ; they are liberal and uniformly obliging. Their local items, 
if you would allow it, might be the means of depositing many 
dollars in your till. As for other means of advertising, "their 
name is legion," the principal ingredient of which is Printer'' s Ink ; 
the benefit to be derived from which depends more or less upon 
the size of doses. 

With thanks to friends generally, and especially to the several 
thousand patrons of the " Gazetteer and Directory of Cayuga 
County," I leave my work for the present, hoping in after years to 
again meet and serve you in a similar undertaking.
